Mind Map

 Firstly I created a mind map outlining the biggest events and activities that took place in 2019/2020, most of the biggest events were caused by Covid-19. After mind mapping I realised that I had forgotten about a lot of major events that took place simply because my mind has been so occupied on Covid-19, I could imagine that this has happened to a lot of people. 

The next step was to pick on of the events from the first mind map and elaborate it, out of the options I wI was looking for two things: 1. what would be interesting for me to promote and 2. what would make a good promotion. 

I decided on the Australian Bushfires that has been swept under the rug, Australia still has a serious problem with bush fire season happening every year, but every now and again major fires stop the world for a brief amount of time. These fires are said to be mainly caused from global warming, the extra heat added with gusts of wind excelled the fires to take over approximatly 46,050,750 acres, kill 75 humans and billions are animals in Australia. I want to make a campaign that gives awareness and raises money for the events caused.

Call to action

 Over the years skateboarding is becoming a decline sport, skateparks are closing and brands and skate shops have had to adapt in ways that keeps them in profit, this gets rid of the stigma and meaning behind the brand. It is my mission to motivate people in Manchester to skate not just on go skateboarding day but indefinitely. Brands and shops all around the world carry out these events in ways to promote skateboarding and boost sales. My call to action is to create a social press release and get a trend on major social networking platforms to advertise Black Sheep Skate shop and promote skateboarding in Manchester.

South Bank Skatepark

  theproject theproject South Bank skates spot is located in South Bank and boasts an underfoot skate spot that has been established there since the 1970's, when skateboarding was starting to take off in the UK. This is shear brilliance for my report as many property developers over the years have tried to buy this space and turn it into shops and restaurants but each time the skateboarders get together to form an alliance against it. A charity called Long Live South Bank started taking donations to keep the park safe from property developers and up until now its worked but its only a certain amount of time before it gets pulled.

The Mission

Image
Statistics and evidence of skateparks closing all across the UK shows that skateboarding is a dying, but with big companies jumping onto the streetwear bandwagon you would think that the skateboarding scene would be at an all time high. Skateboarding appears in Burberry campaigns, Hermes are selling skateboards for $3,000 a pop but skateparks are being destroyed, skateboarding companies (Mainly independent shops) are becoming bankrupt, and a concerning lack of interest has been found in the sport. On the other hand a lot of skateboarding brands have benefitted from their target audience shifting from skateboarders to street wear stylists. As much as I hate conglomerate companies who have benefited from skateboarding such as Supreme and Nike they have brought in a ridiculous amount of money into the sport.  The mission is to raise awareness that skateboarding is heavily declining, whilst brands such as Palace, Supreme, Vans, and Nike are capitalising the sport through fashion.
