concept statement

My concept is to donate loose change to any charity from pennies to ten pence pieces. I have chosen this because in reference to my research the majority of people aged 18+ have this amount of loose change in thier possession, this audience doesn’t seem to be to bothered about giving away coins ranging from one pence to ten. I plan to collect this loose change by producing a money device which would then persuade people to donate their change to charitys. This would then be displayed in shops and cafe hotspots in which products would be ranged at prices such as £1.95 in which £2 would be given and 5p change would be given which would then either be pocketed or put in the charity box.

Most change i have found laying around of mostly 1p's 2p's 5p's and 10p's


since starting this brief, i have been collecting my loose change and putting aside at the end of each day, this works out with any range of coinage, however more low currency coinage.

these are some of the things an average person would probably find round their household.

i also came across bags in which loose change could be provided to someone wanting to give their loose change in and then donate to a charity.

the household containers would provide a 'collection pot' in which we can save loose change. this would also help recycling issues.. the environment!, and thats always good.

how do we usually package loose change?

humm... well obviously in a purse or wallet.

pocket/s

or where do we find it?

floor
streets
table
pockets

i plan to work to the scale of creative review magazine. this is because the type of information i am planning to put into it i feel will help. there is a lot of space and also maybe the pages being a square format will give the readers eye freedom to move where ever across the page... possibly, thats what i find anyway.

A concept statement 'loose change is good'

Loose change is always good to have. why?

Flipping coins can make you look good and make 50/50 decisions for anything, at anytime. It is always there when we spend over the amount we worked out or even contribute to the total sum in exchange for less coinage in return. Impress friends or the general public with your loose change - spinning, rolling, even pull off pranks or magic tricks with your coins. If you are enthusiastic you can even save or collect your loose shrapnel. If your not the collecting type, own a pond or well, you can always donate your loose change. There are plenty of charities out there to get rid of your pennies for a good cause, or simply make a wish.
