Comments
The standard overall was OK – I thought that over 50% didn’t get the message right through lack of research. It was too general about homelessness rather than what Crisis actually does. The winning postcards caused an instant reaction – that homelessness could happen to any of my friends at any time. It really addressed what Crisis does. The winning booklet was a very good portrait of homelessness without showing any people. Great execution. The piece looked finished, right and could be run tomorrow.
