DESIGN NAME: Harlem Advocacy
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Posters
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this project comes from the location where Harlem Health Advocacy Partners mainly focuses on helping: Harlem. Since the main audiences that are benefited from this program are residents living in the Harlem community, the look and feel of this project should have this Harlem vibe, in order to resonate with the residents. To communicate with the residents in a clear and easy-understood way, these posters are heavily visual graphics and illustration orientated, influenced by pop art and design style.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a series of advertising campaign posters designed for Harlem Health Advocacy Partners, an organization under the New York City Department of Health. To help the residents in Harlem know more about the services from this organization: medical, social, educations, job-related, etc, these campaign posters include a brand lock up, various illustrated and designed icons, representing different services, to promote this program provided by New York City Department of Health.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: There is one main campaign poster, which includes all the illustrated visual icons graphics. And when the posters are out for distribution in public, they will be broken into the individual poster with one single icon zoomed in, representing that specific service provided by Harlem Health Advocacy Partners.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research process of this project starts with brainstorming how to convert a government/social service project into an eye-catching and fun project. The research objective was to do as many competitive researches, statistically and visually, as possible, in order to help understand the needs of Harlem residents.
CHALLENGE: The creative challenge in this project has been that since the audiences of this campaign are very specific, it needs to find the right balance between messaging and visual communications, in order to help the Harlem residents understand the messaging of this campaign easily and quickly. But at the same time, the design style of the posters needs to convey this "Harlem Style", in order to grab attention and promote the services from Harlem Health Advocacy Partners.
