Designism Project
The idea behind this massive project stems from the unethical treatment of animals in slaughterhouses/farms that cater to both small and big food corporations.
For the most part, the fast food industry is the main perpetrator for this inhumane and cruel treatment of animals in both slaughterhouses/farms. Some primary examples are: McDonald's, KFC, Wendy's, and Burger King. These companies are more concerned about maximizing output and minimizing costs and throwing animal rights aside.
Our idea for this designism project is to take the packaging that is known world-wide (such as burger boxes, paper bags, and even chicken buckets) and turning them into surfaces that would help express our concern. On each piece, we would like to include a piece of harsh reality/shocking aspect (such as photographs, information and facts) and a message, which inturn let the customer know that there are ways that they can make a difference whether big or small.
If there are any suggestions or comments to Nicole & I's designism proposition please leave a comment - we really want this to be a successful project!
