Expressive Generation - Educational Guerilla Marketing

Abstract: “A creative city requires creative solutions” was one of the many insights we got when conduction our examination project together with a Minor Field Study, in Cape Town/South Africa. This report is a window into our South African design adventure and explores the question; how can we create an expressive and dynamic campaign that will succeed in a vibrant city like Cape Town? Under the wing of our assigners at The Frank Joubert Art Centre we created an edgy and interactive campaign for The Expressive Generation Exhibition, that plays with both its environment and its viewer. Our extensive research gave birth to a new design concept; Educational Guerrilla Marketing, with the context of involving the young artists and designers in their own exhibition advertisement. So, how did we manage to combine a design examination project with a social-focused SIDA-report and at the same time get a life changing experience? The following pages will paint you the picture.
