Marker Campaign

At the heart of this project is our gratitude to those who helped shape the region we have grown up in. With the support of Mr Townshend of MTP Productions, myself and two other designers worked collaboratively to develop a campaign that commemorates and celebrates the efforts of women in the Great War. This project took us down a route of discovery, speaking to local people and discovering sources of information that have unearthed the rich history East Anglia is proud of. The aim of the project was to portray the effects and impact of war on women in 1918, given the changes of war and their adapting role. The campaign had to entice the viewer to get involved to create a community project. Proposing our concepts alongside four other groups, Marker ultimately won the bid for the project and recognition of Mr Townshend.
