What is ‘Digital Historical Campaign’
A passion project that merges modern visual effects with historical documentary storytelling to raise awareness for global famine relief. The project involves creating visually stunning, historically contextual digital content to promote social consciousness and fund famine relief initiatives.
Why I am pursuing this project (My why)
- I am a ‘Community Builder’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
- I’m using my knack for creating cool visuals with a touch of history to work on a project designing impactful campaigns. My goal? To use my skills as a visual designer to make a difference and promote kindness and personal growth in the fight against global hunger..
