Brendon Barnett: Too crude for a campaign



Having specified in our research, we found a lot of existing extreme sports brands contained very crude and controversial material in their advertising. As DECE are appealing to the same target audience, our initial campaign idea was to follow the very crude approach and began by incorporating these ideas into poster design.

Uncertain with the potential of the campaign we returned back to the drawing board to overlook the brief and the collected research to gain inspiration for indelicate theme. It immediately came to our attention having looked back at the research that DECE not only produces products for adults, but also children. Strictly following the structural brief and catering each requirement, we instantly knew that this campaign was far too inappropriate and that we must adapt to either tone it down and make it child-friendly or discard the whole idea all together.
