Abby Grimshaw's Ideas

Concept #1: Political Pyramid 

In the United States we segregate our political parties like we segregate our food:
- we "think" we know their "nutritional" value
- we strictly categorize them into separate components
- an equal balance of all would probably be the healthiest choice.

For this idea I want to combine the imagery used for the United States Food Pyramid:

With coordinating infographics that have to do with the population of political parties in the united states, including:

Democrat, Republican, Constitution, Green, Libertarian, American First, Independent. 

This is both an info graphic and geometric solution. 

Concept #2: We the What?

This typographic solution will poke fun at how well Americans truly do know their history. Are we completely educated and knowledgeable on what our rights are? With the incorrect sayings on the outside and the correct on the inside this conceal/reveal aspect will reflect that it does indeed take a little work in order to become knowledgeable on a subject.

May contain play on words such as: we the what?!, bill of knights, and variations on the pledge of allegiance. 

Concept #3: The Family Peacekeeper

This pictographic solution will allow many more dinner table arguments in the United States fairly fought and understood. Family conflicts usually center around opposing political issues ( and usually after a couple of drinks, become very intense). So for your next family meal not only will there be coordinating sets of dinnerware for each member's political preference but just incase a key arguing point when in the midst of discussion, will have key values of their party placed on the inside of their cup. This will allow well informed arguments, for sometimes we all forget what we are really arguing about. Simple clean graphics will accompany this set of dishes that will make you never loose a dinner table argument again.
