Unit Title: Social Media Campaign

​

ATL skills: Social, Communication, Thinking
 

Design Problem/scenario: Companies are utilizing social media platforms to sell and market their products &/or services on a global scale to target audiences. Nowadays literally any item can be advertised via Instagram, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. even normal household products. Your challenge is to design and produce a SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN that can maximize the sales of a SPECIFIC PRODUCT &/or SERVICE for a SPECIFIC TARGET AUDIENCE to increase ENGAGEMENT & SALES for a SPECIFIC COMPANY. Your SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN must include, a narrative, follow principles of advertising, and consider the display of the item and a specific market group.

(Criterion A) Inquiring and Analyzing

Lesson 1 ~ 21/08 ~ C iii. follows the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended and is presented appropriately

Aims & Objectives:

  • Establish graphic design skills (prior knowledge/skills)

  • Set a goal for Design

 

Task: Create a Design profile poster that includes:

  • Your Name

  • Your School

  • Professional/Academic Image of Self 

  • List of your hobbies & interests

​

Lesson 2 ~ 23/08 ~ Criterion A iv. develops a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of relevant research

Aims & Objectives:

  • A (iv) develops a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of relevant research

  • Class Procedures & Rules

  • Digital Citizenship & Digital Society

 

ATLs:

  • Thinking

  • Communication

  • Organisation

 

Tasks:

Step One: Design a simple A4 poster (sketch idea on paper) that communicates clearly your thoughts and basic research about one of these concepts (10-20min):

  • Good Students

  • Good Teachers

  • Good Learning Environments

 

When designing your poster address these points:

  • ALLOW THE RULE OF THIRDS to guide your poster design

  • INCLUDE A POSITIVE MESSAGES in your content & a WHY

  • RESEARCH is needed to understand the RULE OR THIRDS and strengthen your CONTENT

  • TARGET AUDIENCE: MYP students/teachers

  • PURPOSE: To persuade, inspire and instruct MYP students/teachers to be a good student/teacher or create a good learning environment

 

Step Two: With a partner - share your two posters and look at the CONTENT and DESIGN then create a group of three new posters, with a central theme being GOOD SCHOOLS and with STUDENTS and TEACHERS as the target audience, that covers these three ideas (30-40min):

  • Good Students

  • Good Teachers

  • Good Learning Environments

 

RULE OF THIRDS DEFINITION

The Rule of Thirds is the process of dividing an image into thirds, using two horizontal and two vertical lines. This imaginary grid yields nine parts with four intersection points. When you position the most important elements of your image at these intersection points, you produce a much more natural image. It is also suggested that any horizon is placed on either the top horizontal line or the bottom horizontal line. Off-centre composition is pleasing to the eye because it’s typically where the eyes go first. When there is a subject or object off-centre, it also gives viewers the ability to interact with that space between them. This allows for interpretation and conversation between the subject and the background, as opposed to a fully-centred subject.

 

The Rule of Thirds is a way to:

  • Use composition techniques that are in line with what’s naturally pleasing to the eye

  • Creatively use negative space

  • Create a conversation between the subject and background

    4. design layout that "The Golden Ratio is a design concept based on using the Fibonacci sequence to create visually appealing proportions in art, architecture, and graphic design.
