Psychological Support School Programs
I was assigned to design a series of posters and a flyer in three languages (greek, albanian, russian) for the Psychological Support School Programs, a program from the University of Thessaly with the collaboration of the University of Athens, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and University of Crete. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the critical issues of racism and bullying in the greek schools and also the major issue of participation in the school community.
I decided to focus on the kids psychology and try to make the viewer feel the kid involved in any of the issues. The way I felt this could be done was by waking up childhood feelings. So I created six colorful figures from play doh, resembling kids in a school community. Everybody has played with it and it is a good reference to an early childhood. I also designed some basic shapes resembling the communication - the language between these creatures. The written message that the client had come up with would have to be scaled down, giving the way to the feelings created by the image. So, the color was used to depict racism and participation, while the broken down creatures spoke of bullying.
