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.
