•The Cross- cultural approach - will educate those who aren’t familiar with other cultures.

•As well as challenge misconceptions, prejudice, and any other stereotypes held.

•This community engagement- will allow people to experience an insight into other peoples languages, traditions and values. 

 It allows people to experience different ways of life, for example other peoples languages, art, traditions and behaviours.

•When people learn about different ways of life, they can better understand different cultures.

Although the article is focussing on promoting diversity in public places, it is still relevant for publicising the event. 
Some areas that I will be focussing on is finding the mix between promoting a 'cultural melting pot,' and creating safe pockets of related cultures. My communications will focus on celebrating the various differences which make cultures unique, however highlighting the community element of the expo. 

By targeting the power of the neighbourhood I will create a sense of community between the individuals attending, without unintentionally excluding different cultures, or groups of people. ]]> 2017-05-29 13:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174256077 Audiences jessica78 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174257812 I will target my communications to many different aspects of the event, as everyone values different things more highly. For some, the multicultural aspect of the expo may be what incites them to visit, while others may be more persuaded by a specific stall or event which piques their interest. 
By understanding the audience I am trying to reach, I can then target specific communication messages through specific means of communication, thus targeting different audiences. ]]> 2017-05-29 14:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174257812 Jheneil Sunga jheneil_555 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174354243 Project Role: Visual Media Officer

Learning through visuals is a good way to attract audiences because most people prefer visuals rather than text when trying to learn something and this section of the program is perfect for that.
I am also gonna be producing a shot 30 second to a minute video that tells what our project is about and I am going to be working with the advertising team in publishing it to the public.]]> 2017-05-30 07:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174354497 Pre-Event Communication jessica78 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174359359 In order to be a true community event, all facets of the community must be involved in the planning of the event. In the lead up to the event I will liaise with the council to ensure that all planning needs are met. I will also meet with businesses to see if they would like to help in any way, by holding their own stall, or providing equipment or materials. 

Before the event I will also communicate with local community members to see if there are any specific stalls or events they would like to see in the expo. This will increase a sense of community ownership for the project, and will make people more invested, and likely to come to the expo. ]]> 2017-05-30 08:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174359359 Mission jheneil_555 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174370887 My mission in this project is to get audience interested in foreign films because this way they will be able to fully expand their knowledge about different cultures just by simply watching a movie in their own time. I also want to raise awareness that there are other races in certain countries that are struggling to survive everyday. This is also a good way to remove stereotyping of cultures.]]> 2017-05-30 09:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174370887 Target Audience jheneil_555 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174376309 My audience for my section are going to be everyone, from children to adults.
I am gonna be showing animation films to children that are dubbed English because they are not used to watching movies with subtitles yet.
For adults I am going to be streaming movies with subtitles because the film would seem more authentic this way.]]> 2017-05-30 10:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174376309 Screening jheneil_555 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174383243 I am going to be streaming 4 films total (2 for children and 2 for adults).

Screening times are going to be posted around the event and will include a summary of the films that are going to be played and how long they go for.]]> 2017-05-30 11:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174383243 Michal Czepiel michal_czepiel04 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174383290 Project role:  Graphic Designer and Content Promoter

Within the project I will be focusing on creating posters, brochures, logos and be in charge of overall aesthetic appeal and visual direction.

This means I can provide the team with support advertising and promoting the overall event, or specific stalls such as Halima's Cultural workshop, by creating pamphlets, banners, stall designs or typography templates to help aid the development and effective promotion of our expo.

I also aim to closely work with Alannah in creating supporting visuals for her stall, and with Jheneil in creating a promotional video to advertise the event and create an interest and awareness of our expo to the public.

Typography should also be clear, legible and readable, for accessibility to all ages and reading levels, and unobtrusive images with universal appeal should be utilised to target the widest range of individuals.
]]> 2017-05-30 11:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174388658 Similar Campaigns michal_czepiel04 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174391182 Here are a few examples of similar projects and organisations which inspired me in creating my logo designs.  

Connectivity in the form of joining hands or interweaving shapes is a common representation of multiculturalism, as well as trees and nature for the symbols of prosperity, life and vitality. I decided to draw upon these elements in my final design.

]]> 2017-05-30 12:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174391182 Visual Palette michal_czepiel04 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174395040 Inclusivity was central to our theme of this expo, so a rainbow palette was created to evoke the feeling that all races and people of diverse cultural backgrounds can be accepted and learn from each-others experiences and unique perspectives.

I think it would critically benefit the team to use this inclusive, multi-coloured imagery to enhance our campaign, and to utilise it in all aspects of design.

Larger scale projects such as billboard advertising on buses or street corners are usually costly, and reach a fewer range of people, whilst pamphlets and visual internet media can be targeted to a wider and more specific audience as well as providing a cost effective and versatile solution.]]> 2017-05-30 12:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174395621 michal_czepiel04 https://padlet.com/halimaabukarr/ph5m9vzrvy4n/wish/174398604 Complimentary hue couplets were used, meaning colours opposite on the colour wheel to represent the diversity in cultures and create a vibrant positive image of our expo.

In order to not overpower design however, lower value and less saturated colours were used as seen here with the top palette providing the best balance.

I decided to combine these 2 motifs with the organic structure of a growing sapling combined with a circle behind symbolising this harmony between cultures and the growth that can occur during the event.
