COP Practical Development

Brief (outline the general aims of the project)


To design an advertising campaign for the campaign, ‘Let toys be Toys’. The design will need to communicate how the stereotyping of children specifically relating to their gender is affecting their development and future. It will initially need to reach out and communicate to adults and parents, as these, through research, are the main influencers. It will also need to reach out to toy companies, retailers and designers to encourage them to make a change. Changing the way people act will influence a change in the impact on children.
