Cause + Campaign Audience Call to Action<br />
Fight <strong>the</strong> Gap is a campaign to<br />
create awareness for <strong>the</strong> problem<br />
of income inequality in <strong>the</strong> United<br />
States specifically, by arguing<br />
about <strong>the</strong> concentration of wealth<br />
in <strong>the</strong> hand of <strong>the</strong> few (1%) and<br />
comparing it to <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong><br />
population to call attention to <strong>the</strong><br />
intensity of this issue.<br />
The campaign is targeted towards<br />
<strong>the</strong> general public to put pressure<br />
on policy makers. I chose this<br />
audience to inform <strong>the</strong>m of <strong>the</strong><br />
huge difference between <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
notion of America’s wealth<br />
distribution and <strong>the</strong> shocking<br />
reality.<br />
The main purpose of <strong>the</strong><br />
campaign is to raise awareness<br />
for <strong>the</strong> problem of income inequality<br />
from a neutral state ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />
take an extreme angle. Meaning,<br />
just stating <strong>the</strong> reality and <strong>the</strong><br />
facts-in an informative manner<br />
ra<strong>the</strong>r than choose between<br />
extreme capitalism and socialism.
The 1%
The recurring yellow figure<br />
highlighted in <strong>the</strong>se images<br />
represents 1% of <strong>the</strong> US<br />
population.
The 99%
Using products related to low<br />
income workers (i.e. coffee<br />
cup & barista), I compared <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
income with a high income<br />
worker associated with <strong>the</strong><br />
same brand.
