ABOUT ME Hello, my name is Lisa Guhl. I am from Berlin and am studying with passion Graphic Design in Bradford. Short: I am a graphic design newcomer. Confucius “The way is the goal� denotes me, paired with an eye and love for detail. For me, life means being creative. . My style: I am always looking for new challenges, the discovery of new things and experience of foreign situations. I am thirsty for knowledge and creativity, and am authentic and refreshing. Interests: the sound of waves, potatoes, photography, soap bubbles, and coffee in the morning are just as perfect as Helvetica for me.

ALCOHOL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN “Graphic design artist Lisa Guhl from Berlin, Germany created this alcohol awareness advertisement with drunken Barbies as the stars. The dolls sit and look passed out in front of a whole shelf of bottles with speech bubbles like “Come on Barbie, let’s go party!” In bold font the words “We are not living in a Barbie world” send a fierce message, especially to children, that contrasts the wild representation of drugs and alcohol in the media. From music videos to television, children are constantly bombarded with the glam and popularity of party life and this alcohol awareness ad aims to shoot those messages down and share a harsh reality. At first glance, the ad seems pretty funny with Barbie’s makeup dripping down her face and her skimpy prom dress all in shambles. As you scroll through the images you will see a more real and scary message being conveyed. It is certainly a bold and creative way of illustrating a very common issue.” Text by Sarah Dos Santos http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-awareness

GENETIC ENGINEERING Challenge: Research a chosen organisation and produce a piece of work that can be used to create an awareness campaign. Solution: My idea was to convey the message “you do not always eat what you see� because I wanted to create awareness of the chemical adjustments companies make to modify plants. Therefore, I decided to represent this in a symbolic way: the mirror tells the truth.
