    uniE621 Nutritional Awareness through a Local Restaurant.
    My overall concept for this campaign was Nutritional Awareness through a local restaurant; which meant utilizing the leftover food after a day of work at the restaurant, and packaging it into biodegradable/ sustainable food packages. After which it would be handed out to homeless/ less fortunate people on the streets, so they receive one proper meal a day. The materials below show nutritional awareness by use of marketing materials. For example, offering the customers that sit at the restaurant, a nutritional awareness card with a recipe for a fee of R5,00 as a donation towards ending Street hunger. Promotional products would also be sold and proceeds would be donated to the cause. My strategic message was: Ending Street Hunger, Through Local Restaurants. graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer…
