Brief Explanation

With no budget we had to find an ingenious way to use media and make our message heard.

The Brief

To create awareness about the Al Noor Training Centre, which helps children with special needs find their place in society.

How the final design was conceived

We made innovative use of the globally recognised handicap sign. A vinyl die-cut sticker was designed with the relevant elements. When stuck on the handicap sign, it neatly turned the logo into a magician or basketball player or singer or astronomer.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Through this execution we managed to turn disability into potential, simply and effectively without any budget. On the 27th of January, 2011, handicap signs across the city became mini billboards driving home the centre's message to curious passers-by.
