Advertising

Iarnród Éireann has experienced complaints regarding seating for specific needs and they would like to remind people to be considerate of passengers who need the seats more than they do. The challenge here is to create posters for owned media formats to encourage people to give up their seat. My idea uses the poster as  platform to highlight and criminalise the guilty people who don’t give up their seats. Not giving up your seat doesn’t go unnoticed. People need to be more seat-aware. My idea also contains a social experiment using a hidden camera and eye tracking.
