The I CAN Campaign is an initiative geared toward the South Carolina Profile of the Ready Kindergartner. This profile says that children that are ready for school must have a support base of family, caregivers, community and schools.
My role in the campaign was to design billboards around the I CAN and First Steps logo that expressed the various developmental skills and objectives for children that are preparing to enter Kindergarten.
My role in the campaign was to design billboards around the I CAN and First Steps logo that expressed the various developmental skills and objectives for children that are preparing to enter Kindergarten.
During the first 2 months of the campaign, the billboards featured young children and the corresponding objectives. The objectives included:
- Approaches to Learning & Inquiry (I CAN Listen & I CAN Figure Things Out)
- Emotional & Social Development (I CAN Help My Friend)
- Physical Development, Self-Help & Motor Skills (I CAN Explore & I CAN Imagine)
- Language & Literacy Development (I CAN Predict What Happens Next; not pictured)
- Mathematical Thinking (I CAN Count to 20; not pictured)
These billboards, both vinyl and electronic, were placed in approximately 10 different locations (listed below) around South Carolina for those travelling into the capital.
