Title: 'How to use personal insights to create bilingual compelling advertising campaigns?'
A workshop by Joumana Ibrahim
Faculty, Department of Art and Design, Lebanese American University, Lebanon
Abstract: In this workshop, participants will develop an advertising campaign based on insights from the study and analysis of their own digital footprint. Students will delve into the world of social media and digital content to highlight recurrent patterns in their personal data. They will then venture into the conceptual and visual explorations of advertising processes which will help them express a specific message based on the insight they have collected. They will learn to identify an audience and find the most relevant online and offline communication channels to address their demographic. Finally, the study of the languages and dialects used by their target group will allow participants to use them as communication tools in their advertising campaign.
We will conclude the workshop with project presentations open to the public.
Materials/ tools to be brought by student participants:
Laptops with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and internet access. Papers/sketchbooks and coloring pencils.
