Peace One Day

Poster design to promote the event

Project Brief: To promote Peace One Day and to inform those who haven't heard of it yet.

The idea: To create an event called Designers United; a three-day workshop that will be held at London College of Communication, which aims to spread peace among our community. 

First day: students are briefed ahead of time to submit a two-minute film that represents Peace One Day to inform fellow students about the organisation and its goals. Molly Dineen, an award winning UK television documentary director, cinematographer and producer, will select the top ten entries, which will be screened on the first day of the workshop. Molly Dineen will be attending to offer her critique benefiting any aspiring filmmakers and anyone attending. 

To ensure the attendance of students on all three days, white 

t-shirts will be handed out during the first day and will be regarded as entry tokens for the second day of the workshop. 

Second day: students will design t-shirts using silk 

screen-printing, while pushing their creativity. They will be under the supervision of Neville Brody an English graphic designer, typographer and art director, as well as an Alumnus of London College of Printing. A photograph of eacht-shirt design is entered into the competition where Neville Brody will choose a winner who will be privileged to spend a day in his studio. 

Third day: the ‘Peace Walk’ will take place on the 21^st of September, wrapping up the events of the workshop. The students will be divided into four groups, each group starting at a different cultural quarter in London, such as Bethnal Green that is popular for its Bangladeshi community, Edgware Road for the Arabs, Belsize Park for the Jewish community and Southwark for the Ghanaians and other African communities. The four groups will be given a set time to meet at Covent Garden square, an upbeat, vibrant area that is visited by many people from around the world. The walk is symbolic as it unites the groups that started on separate paths. At the end of the day, Neville Brody will announce the results of the t-shirt competition in the square and the students will receive a personalised certificate commending their completion of the three-day peace workshop.
