These are my initial sketches for some poster ideas; I have tried to put the focus on shaming and highlighting the lyrics used in the songs whilst adding statistics to shock the audience.
In some cases the language being used is more shocking as it is written down, you can actually see the word whereas when singing you almost forget the word as soon as it’s left your mouth. So I thought about how I would get the message across so I consider the use of message boxes similar to what you would see on social messaging platforms. Therefore the first idea shown is representative of this; then moving on to the right I have tried to include the idea of a hash-tag because everywhere you look on online you see hash-tags all the time so where would my campaign be without the use of a hash-tag or three.
With the bottom left idea I was trying to think of a clever way to visualise my message so I thought about how earphones get tangled up which makes it hard to listen to your music so therefore I was suggesting that the audience takes time to listen to the words in songs in the same way you would take time to de-tangle your earphones. I think that this design is quite successful in it’s approach.
The last one on this page is making use of the microphone which is associated with music and giving the idea that artists shouldn’t be able to come out with the language they do in the first place and so you cutting your ties with this music. Cutting the cord, meaning switching off this music and not feeding that culture.
