Project Outline

The Global Clean Water Initiative, a California-based nonprofit organization, was leading a global clean water initiative and planned to open three satellite offices in Vietnam, Nigeria, and Mexico. As part of a larger marketing campaign, the organization wanted to design a flyer for Vietnam, to be distributed throughout the community to increase awareness of the initiative and encourage members of the community to volunteer. The goal of the project was to design three different mock-ups that could successfully meet the needs of the marketing campaign.

Culturally and socially conscious images and colors were carefully selected to reflect The Global Clean Water Initiative's mission and vision to ensure people around the globe have access to safe and clean water.

  • A lot of red, green, yellow, blue, and white are used in the mock-ups. These colors give mindful and optimistic vibes that correlate with how the colors are perceived in Vietnamese culture. The colors also help underscore the brand's industry and some of the themes that their value statement highlights.

The image of the Vietnamese flag is a unifying symbol; it doesn't only represent certain communities but the entire country. It appeals to the target audience's sense of patriotic duty and social responsibility. This mock-up design demonstrates to the audience that the mission that The Global Clean Water Initiative has undertaken is greater than just the individual. It cannot be achieved by one person but instead requires the collectiveness of the country, of Vietnamese citizens.
