Some of the promo stuff I made for the events. The initial poster, poster for kids session, the invite and the two word panels (words provided by attendees of sessions)
Our service was asked to put on an event for Dignity Awareness Day/Dignity in Care Campaign and we took it a little further...and made a month of it! Myself and our development worker put together a programme of sessions leading up to an exhibition that would both promote our service and the Dignity Campaign but also showcase all the work created. Myself and another sessional worker Michelle went on tour, using the awesome
(though sadly closing soon) Arts Hartlepool Unit to deliver a range of sessions starting with banner making on textiles with each person creating an A4 'patch' to be sewn into the bigger banners on what dignity meant to them.
We then wrangled a lot of children during half term to create their own 'Dignity Champions', superheroes that embodied dignity. First they designed and drew some amazing characters such as Potato man (he fills you up when you're hungry) and Rainbow Girl (she makes everything good). Some of the older ones made comic strips whi
lst the younger all made masks to transform them into their characters.
We then did outreach work with sheltered accommodation for which I designed a number of poster designs inspired by propaganda posters and 1960s psychedelia (don't ask) and then we made very large 'paper mosaic' collage versions of them, with two separate designs
, one of which was finished at the launch party rather than leaving me to do it all!
Our launch event went really well, with a lot of the participants showing up for cheese and cupcakes. It was definitely worth the blood, sweat and tears we put into getting it up in time!
More pictures to come. I seem to have left my memory stick at work...doh!
