Give blood says Stacey

Young people aged 17-25 are the target of a new fictitious campaign from University of 海角直播 BA (Honours) Graphic Design graduate Stacey Nottingham. For Stacey, 22, from Thornaby, devised the campaign as part of her final-year project, which encourages young people to give blood.

Stacey came to the University after achieving 鈥楢鈥� levels in Art & Design, Business Studies and Economics at St. Mary鈥檚 Sixth Form College, and a foundation course in Art & Design from Cleveland College of Art & Design. She said: 鈥淚鈥檝e always loved Art since I was at Secondary School. I鈥檝e learned so many things on the degree, such as multi-media applications and my computer skills have really developed. We were always encouraged to be creative.鈥�

Stacey considered several organisations for her final year project, including the NSPCC and national AIDS charities, before choosing the National Blood Service. Her campaign includes a postcard, two posters, a booklet and leaflets.

鈥淚鈥檝e aimed the campaign at 17-25 year olds to generate more donors amongst this group. The literature could be left in Doctor鈥檚 waiting rooms. I鈥檝e chosen a simple illustrative style and have left out any images of needles. I also pose a question, what if you went into hospital and there was no blood available? I would be really pleased if the National Blood Service took up my ideas,鈥� added Stacey.

Stacey is now aiming for a career in magazine design. She is the daughter of Maureen and Kevin Nottingham and the first in her family to graduate from University.
