Robert Schwartz Concept Pitch
Area Observations • Luxury housing located across the street from lower income apartments, duplexes • Park, creek, forest destroyed for housing development. Pollution abounds. • Representative of many similar projects throughout Fairfax city/county.
Area Observations Continued • Housing complex on Main Street, constant traffic in cars and on foot • New housing very close to lower income residences • Within walking distance of local courthouse/police station
Project Specifics • Primarily in protest of wasteful construction (more expensive housing) • Environmental issues secondary(prefer natural environment to high income housing, especially given its location)
Content of Design • Juxtaposition (in this case, of Christ with Smokey the Bear) • Easily identifiable characters • Easily digestible message, doesn’t require much time to read or understand • Minimal text; one word at most.
Content of Design Continued • Greyscaleor black and white; minimal color • Minimalist design in final product • “Short and sweet” message communicated as efficiently as possible
Target Audience • Anyone who will listen • Preferably those willing to make a change; voters, city council members, contractors, housing developers, etc. • Anyone who will get mad about it
Risk Analysis • Proximity to police in installation • Conflict between painting/greyscale • Current work feels “too busy” • Perfectionism
