Color Me Rad
College Project
Campaign
Description
Colour Me Rad is an annual festival of colour. In Winnipeg, Canada it involves running a 5K marathon with your friends or team while getting yourself covered in colour powder. The strategic focus of the 2019 year campaign was collaboration. Its goal was to target the market segment that doesn’t attend because they feel uncomfortable coming on their own. It promotes the feel of a collaborative and welcoming space that encourages participants to interact and make new friends. The goal has been reached through using a number of design principles as well as a strong call to action.
Approach
The design solution was to express fun and excitement of the event through abstraction to make it distinct from the previous years’ ads and better appeal to the target market.

The following are proposed campaign expression that include a variety of formats and sizes to better showcase the application of the theme graphics.
Conclusion
