Overview
An Awareness Campaign Self First is an awareness campaign that asks teenage girls to take care of themselves – to put themselves and their needs first. It is about teen girls finding their identity, being themselves, becoming who they want to be, and most importantly, putting themselves first throughout the process. “Adolescence represents an often difficult period in a young woman’s life, for many teens, this is also a time for exploration, freedom to try new things, growing independence, and selfawareness. During this period, the adolescent girl begins to form her own unique identity” (Johnson, 377). Self First is trying to change the way teen girls view themselves, as well as urge them to reflect upon themselves– their thoughts, feelings, and actions– as they explore the possibilities in their lives. One’s habitus shapes the meaning they make out of any given situation. In order to put their personal needs first, one needs to shape their habitus to be more self nurturing and self reflective during their developing and exploratory stages of life, so that it is instilled in them as they mature into an adult.

Strategy
My Mission The awareness campaign is striving to get girls to evaluate themselves in a personal, social, and cultural or spiritual setting, and to find the common denominators within each. “In general, female development during adolescence facilitates the growth of the self as an empathic being regarding others. It is ironic that this unique aspect of young women’s personality, which caused them to be viewed as meek, unimportant members of society in the past, actually motivates them to make valuable contributions” to society. They may “also have a more positive attitude toward religion and higher levels of belief, which may suggest that their concern for human welfare is sourced in a spiritual perspective on life” (Johnson, 388-389). Regardless of what societal, cultural, or spiritual beliefs suggest about teen contributions to society, religion, and more, a teen girl should always be herself. More importantly, it is about putting one’s needs first. It is about experiencing the “momentby-moment feeling of happiness [that is] produced by positive emotions,” as well as looking at the larger picture; “daily experiences add up to a happy life” (What is Happiness). One should use what makes them happy to help define who they are, and who they ultimately want to be.
Audience
Vermont Teen Girls Self First targets teen girls, more specifically, girls in high school located in Vermont. I focused on the Vermont area because I have access to local Vermont adolescent girls to interview for Self First research and background information. Also, I can’t simply target adolescent girls anywhere around the world because the culture, atmosphere, and vernacular for teen girls is different around the globe, or even countrywide. I focus on girls in their teenage years because they are going through the struggles of puberty, learning about who they are, and beginning their quests for an identity, which “is not an easy process. There are difficult and confusing choices at every step of the way” (Bellows). Their bodies are changing, their moods are fluctuating, and “they find themselves disoriented, scared and alone. They become moody, secretive and sarcastic” (Bellows). At this challenging time in life, it is important for them to figure out what makes them feel good and happy, inside and out. They need to listen to their inner self, reflect on themselves, find out what makes them who they are, and what can help them become who they want to be.

Nurturing & Supportive The tone for Self First is welcoming and nurturing, yet strong and supportive. As Self First communicates the importance of reflecting upon your thoughts, actions, and more, the campaign stresses that there are positive outcomes to the process. The target audience should feel comfortable with self reflection, though it can be a new and scary practice. With that in mind, the audience should also feel secure, knowing that the campaign is asking a reasonable, and possibly life changing request. They don’t have anything to loose; they only have self confidence and a unique, personal identity to gain.
Tone
Why A positive tone includes being respectful to your audience, being caring, supportive, and accepting, as well as trustworthy. My tone towards my audience is nurturing, yet supportive because I want my audience to feel comfortable with, as well as knowledgeable about the process of self reflection, self nurturing, and shaping their habitus in order to do those things. Self First is trying to help adolescent girls “discover the most stable aspects of their identities by becoming aware of what they are going through, the ways in which they attempt to mold their identities, and by being patient” with its audience since the process may be difficult to overcome (Bellows). I am trying to gently persuade them of the useful aspects of self reflection, and how it can help them develop an identity. Also, I used specific words like ‘you,’ ‘self,’ and ‘we’ to make it feel more personal and individualized. A negative tone includes ordering or commanding your audience to do something, moralizing or preaching to your audience; judging, criticizing, or blaming, your audience. I avoid telling my audience what to do, rather suggesting that the process of self reflection is a good idea, and could be effective. I don’t want to turn them off from the idea.

Psychological Perspective What does self-reflection mean to you? What does self-acceptance mean to you? How do you view yourself? The psychological perspective represents the process of learning about yourself, and understanding your needs and what is important to you. It is about reflecting on your thoughts and actions, and on your mental characteristics and identity. It is about putting yourself and your needs first, and becoming the person that you mentally want to be. “When asked about who we are, as a whole we have a tendency to define ourselves by external or basic things. We talk about our age and gender, followed by a ceaseless list of what we do, what our hobbies are, where we work, and so on... In reality, we’re complex creatures” that deserve a more personalized identity and recognition (Song). Self First is about finding those personal characteristics about yourself that truly identify with who you are mentally, not what people can see or recognize physically. Maybe you are independent, nurturing, or maybe you are controlling but you want to change that. You could be afraid of spiders which is why you are an indoor person. What is it mentally– psychologically– that makes you who you are?
Research Perspectives
Why “Teens work out who they are by trying on new identities through experimentation with different appearances or new interests. Fluctuations in choices can startle parents but is normal behavior. This is one way teens try on different identities to see what works for them� (Identity). It is important for girls, when they are teens, learning about themselves and finding their identities, to shape their habitus to their experiences and preferences so that when they apply meaning to any situation or conversation, it will accurately represent who they are and who they want to be. Since every action, thought, or comment they make is shaped by their habitus, it is important that they identify with, and consciously reflect upon their habitus so that they understand who they are mentally, why they make certain choices, and act certain ways. This reflection will directly impact who they become, what identity they form for themselves, as well as how they interpret, experience, comprehend, and make meaning out of any future interaction or situation.

Social Perspective How do other high school girls see you? Are you a part of a specific group of friends? How do you interact with your girlfriends versus people outside of school? Do you act a certain way or say certain things when you’re around your friends versus when you’re with your elders or outsiders? Do these interactions impact who you are? Everyone is their own person on the inside and out. But certain interactions, being with or without certain people, and the influence of peers and social media can change who you are in each moment in time. Self First stresses the importance of maintaining a balance between who you are with your friends, who you are with your elders, and even who you are when you’re alone. You shouldn’t conform to social norms just to feel accepted. You have your own identity that you should feel good about no matter the situation. It’s okay to have fun with your friends, while you act proper and mature around your teachers, while you may be quite and relaxed when you’re by yourself, but no matter the situation, you should always maintain the integrity of who you are on the inside. Always be yourself.
Research Perspectives
Why There is a social vernacular for teen girls that determines the way they act, talk, dress, and interact when they’re with other teen girls, and when they’re around someone of a higher power than them. They form cliques, or groups of girls that they feel they can identify with; “since they are constantly trying to define and redefine themselves in relation to others, they do not want to be associated with anyone having unacceptable or unattractive characteristics. They try to strengthen their own identities by excluding those who are not like themselves” (Bellows). Or teens will rebel from their superiors in order to “differentiate themselves from parents and authority figures, while maintaining the acceptance of their peers” (Bellows). One’s individual habitus impacts the way they act when they are alone, but also when they are with a group of people. Rather than conforming to social norms, altering the vernacular for a group of teen girls, or changing their personal habitus depending on who they are with, one should stay true to their individual identity and maintain their personal habitus. One should not allow social media, other people, or any outside influences change who they are and who they are striving to be.

10
Cultural and Spiritual Perspective Does your culture influence who you are? Do your beliefs change how you feel, interpret, or interact? How? Why? Each cultural and spiritual belief system has a different connotation for self-reflection. Our culture doesn’t ask us to reflect on ourselves, though we should in order to truly have a better understanding of, and meaning behind our identities. We don’t typically wrap a meaning around our own characteristics, personalities, or backgrounds, but being a part of a certain culture, or having certain spiritual beliefs can alter the way we live our lives, whether we realize it or not. Self reflection can help you understand how these influences impact your own lifestyle.
Research Perspectives
Why Cultural and spiritual contexts are part of one’s habitus, and therefore, are part of the way one shapes meaning of any situation, interaction, or conversation. People, especially teens whom are absorbing information, are conditioned to act, react, think, dress, and interact in certain ways, depending on their cultural and spiritual identities. According to these two influences, one also understands situations, experiences, and concepts differently than anyone else. It is important to acknowledge that these outside elements shape one’s individual habitus, and determine certain outcomes in one’s life. One lives in a certain location, is exposed to certain things, lives a specific way, is a part of a particular community, and is conditioned to respond to different social norms, which all make up part of their culture. “Self-assessment makes [one] realize the pervasive role culture plays in their lives... It also makes people aware of their own biases while sparking openminded curiosity about other cultures... Sometimes [students are even] swept away by healthy narcissism as they explore their own backgrounds” (Clay). Teens tend to loose interest in other cultures, and even in the role they play in their own culture. One must assess themselves in order to understand how their culture and their spiritual beliefs– yet another aspect of a specific culture– impacts their identities. Spiritual beliefs are a commonality among members of a religious community. Though Christianity, the largest religious group in Vermont, practices a form of self reflection, Buddhists actively, and more extensively, self reflect. Utilizing the Buddhist spiritual discipline, one can learn to self reflect, and to shape their habitus to put their needs first. “Zen Buddhism concurs in this recognition of self-knowledge as the distinguishing mark of authentic human existence;” it is not so concerned with the knowledge of the external world, but with the knowledge of ourselves (Self Reflection).

Positive Teen girls would learn to self reflect, which may help improve girls’ lifestyles and their outlook on life. They would learn what their needs are in order to be themselves. They would also understand how to put their needs and themselves first in order to be a better individual in their psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual settings.
Consequences
Negative Teen girls may not be interested in the campaign, or they may make fun of it so they feel cool or rebellious in front of their friends. For example, adolescent boys, or even girls, may draw disturbing images on the posters. Or they may write negative, insulting, disturbing thoughts or comments on the posters. They may not take it seriously.

Moodboard
Why I simply chose images of phrases that inspired my original ideas about self-love. I also chose the footprint because the girls are looking for that imprint of their own– their individual identities. Lastly, I chose the lotus flower which symbolizes beauty, strength, mental purity, and spiritual perfection– all the things I want my audience to feel about themselves.

The Logo My logo stands alone without any graphic images. It is typographic and simplistic. It incorporates my color scheme, font choices, and concept of negative space, all important pieces that make up the identity of Self First.
The Alternate Logo The alternate logo is utilized in my deliverables and outcomes, shifting the positive and negative spaces, adding circles, and bringing yellow, the secondary color into the design.
Why I feel that the logo is strong enough typographically. The concept that I’m trying to project can’t necessarily be defined in a graphic image or illustration. As I sketched out a few options, I found that more and more, I didn’t need any illustrations or graphic images; the writings will more accurately get my ideas across to my audience.
The alternate logo introduces circles and the secondary color into the logo and identity. The pink background with white text still gives the feeling of negative, or white space, while the overlapping circles evoke similar emotions and connotations of the repetition of day to day life, or the cycle of life, connections one may make with themselves and others, and an identity that still needs to be filled.
Visual Identity
Circles & Negative Space Opaque and overlapping circles, and negative space are two important pieces and symbols in defining and establishing an identity for the Self First campaign.
Why “The circle is a profound, transcendent symbol. It is said to represent wholeness, completion, inclusion, the life cycle, heaven, eternity, and the universe... The essence of life can be glimpsed in this thought-provoking shape” (Celebrant Institute). It can represent the cycles of life and living. The different opacities of the circles represent the different stages of development, or how matured an identity is. The circles overlapping can symbolize connections of life with the self, with others, and with their cultural or spiritual beliefs. One should self reflect in order to find and develop their identities. The negative space, or white space within the circles, and within some text, represents an area that still needs to be formed, shaped, or filled. White is “associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity,” therefore, the negative space is symbolic for girls’ innocent, pure, and unformed identities in their adolescent and developing stages of life (Color Wheel Pro).

Avenir Next Condensed Regular ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789.,?!:;“‘ Avenir Next Condensed Ultra Light ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789.,?!:;“‘
Font
Why I wanted a font for the logo that was strong, yet friendly, and body text that would complement that feeling. I chose an outlined text to incorporate negative space into the logo, representing the average teen girl’s identity that is still maturing and developing. Avenir Next Condensed has a strong independence that evokes confidence, while it has curves and friendly characteristics that give a hand-done and unique feel. When I paired the Bold outlined text with the Regular and Ultra Light, they went nicely together, giving the feeling I was looking for in order to make girls feel comfortable with what I’m asking them to do.

Primary: Magenta RGB: 163, 37, 97 CMYK: 33, 98, 39, 9
Color scheme
Why Magenta is feminine. It is a tertiary color, between secondary purple and primary red on the color wheel. Purple is powerful and energizing, yet stable and pleasing to the eye. Red is associated with “strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love� (Color Wheel Pro). Magenta therefore represents an energized, yet stable; feminine, yet strong teen girl.
33
34
Primary: Purple RGB: 114, 60, 122 CMYK: 65, 90, 22, 6
Color scheme
Why “Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red... It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition... Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic” (Color Wheel Pro). The color helps to balance one’s mood and emotions, evoking a stable, calming, and yet energetic tone. My audience will feel at ease and relaxed from the blue tones, while the red tones bring out that energizing and controlled feeling.
35
36
Secondary: Yellow RGB: 255, 197, 70 CMYK: 0, 24, 83, 0
Color scheme
Why “Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy� (Color Wheel Pro). It provokes happiness, energy, and active thoughts. It accents the purple and magenta in a complementary way, giving the sense of belonging and fitting, allowing the girls to feel comfortable with themselves and their surroundings. The girls should feel good about, interested in, and capable of self reflection.

Moodboard & Proposal I started with the initial idea of self-love and transformed more into self reflection and self nurture. Though a lot of the images in my moodboard discuss and quote the idea of self-love, the concepts were still helpful in shaping ideas for my project. The quotes in the images also helped me to come to terms with the concept of shaping one’s habitus, and the importance of the average teen girl shaping her habitus to be self loving, but more importantly, to be self nurturing and self reflective. These concepts help them shape their identity and put themselves and their needs first. The images are really what formed the starting ground for the Self First awareness campaign.
Reflections
Design & Concept I had originally started out with a different name– Selflove. I changed the name because it wasn’t quite fitting for what I wanted to portray to my audience. I had chosen Zapfino and Optima for fonts; Zapfino had an elegance that I wanted the young ladies to feel, but I realized it’s not so much about the self-image or self-love as it is about finding your inner-self and embracing it. I developed a new identity, and I feel that the Avenir Next Condensed font family works much better as it has a personalized, hand-done, and welcoming connotation. After talking with Suzanne and Coby about my project, I changed the name from “Selflove” to “Self First,” which is more fitting for what I am trying to portray to my audience. As I target teen girls, I am aware that they are struggling to find who they are and form an identity. I came up with the tagline “Find your essence. Embrace your essence.” which I felt captured my idea of finding who you are and embracing those characteristics. As I got critique in class, the main feedback was that my tagline felt more like perfume than a personal trait. As a class, we came up with a few things, and I finalized the tagline “Find you. Be you.” It has a much more simplistic idea and flow, and is more fitting without repeating the word “self” too many times. Find yourself, and be who you want to be. I later got more feedback from Coby about my logo, as I was working and reworking it. Together, we felt that keeping everything lower-case as opposed to case sensitive had a better flow and appearance to it, and also felt more welcoming towards my audience.
39
40
Color Scheme Originally I had four colors, all representing something that I wanted my audience to feel as they approached my project, but as I changed my name and logo, I limited my color scheme to three colors; two primary and one secondary. By eliminating the blue, I feel that I eliminated the possibility of melancholy or saddened tones, as blues have different connotations and meanings for each individual. I feel this made the project more approachable, allowing the girls to feel more comfortable with the process of listening to and reflecting upon their inner-selves. It can be a scary thing to do, but I am hoping that through Self First they are able to overcome any fears they may have, embrace their inner-strength and inner-selves, and fill the identity they are looking for. The magenta has a powerful strength to it and the purple has calming and relaxing blue tones, while also incorporating that authoritative red, which I hope will both affect the moods and emotions of my audience in a positive way. The yellow accents and complements my primary colors for use in my designs and deliverables, that will bring a tone of happiness, while still evoking the emotions and approachability that I’m looking for.
Reflections
Research My research changed from using the keywords “self-love,” “embrace,” and “essence” to keywords that fit my project better, such as “self-reflect,” “identity,” “be,” “self-nurture,” and “inner-self.” These terms help guide my project away from a commonly misinterpreted concept, and a term that girls can be afraid of, and transform it more towards a context that is teenage girl friendly. I also got great feedback from the professors about my perspectives, so I changed my three original perspectives to incorporate culture and spiritual backgrounds into one of them. I felt this was very useful because other cultural and spiritual beliefs are based more around self reflection than the culture and most spiritual backgrounds in Vermont. I felt those resources helped to reinforce my ideas, and helped me to peak my audience’s interest, and persuade them of the importance of putting their needs and themselves first.
41
42
Writing I struggled to fit certain terms into my project. Mike helped me understand how concepts fit into my project, and he helped to incorporate those terms and concepts into my writing. There is a vernacular for my identity group– a teenage girl vernacular– how teen girls view each other, act around one another, what they view as important, and more. I am searching for, and targeting a certain age group of girls, mainly located in Vermont, that are all finding their identities and learning about who they are, with and without their friends. Though I am targeting a group of teen girls, Mike helped me realize that my project is individualized; I am simultaneously targeting each girl separately, which is the most important concept of Self First. It is about each individual girl and her personal needs. One’s experiences, preferences, and outside influences shape who they are, which impacts their habitus and how they make meaning out of any given situation. One’s habitus shapes how they view themselves, what they find important to them, how they act, talk, and more. Everyone is different, therefore, everyone has a different habitus that needs to be molded accordingly. The main idea is to express how each girl needs to learn to shape her own habitus to be more self nurturing and self reflective, and to understand the importance of putting her individualized needs, and herself first.
Reflections
Final Logos and Identity My original logo and identity had the wrong connotation, implying that loving yourself and that one’s self-image is important. But I’m really trying to get girls to be mentally happy with themselves as individuals, not with how they see themselves in the mirror or how other people view them. Nor am I trying to ask if they love themselves; that just sounds weird. I feel my final logo portrays my message well, and is much more straight-forward and selfexplanatory, giving the feel of a space, or identity, that needs to be filled, while utilizing a feminine color scheme.
As my research came along, and my design strategy advanced, I saw the need for more than just a font and color scheme, but some sort of simple illustration and concept that helped give my project more of an identity. So I decided I would need another logo for certain design layouts such as posters and stickers to give variations and contrast. This is when I introduced the pink background with white text, as well as the yellow opaque, overlapping circles into my visual identity, evoking a more playful, yet still serious tone, as well as the idea of connectivity with the self, others, and one’s cultural and spiritual settings.
43
44
Posters The posters are a part of my research, serving almost as a written interview with my target audience. This will give me background knowledge and information on what self reflection means to teen girls, if they ever put their needs first, and so much more. The posters can then be hung during my exhibition to show parts of my progress of, and strategy for my project. Also, the blank canvases of the posters that I’ve created serve as deliverables that can be potentially used by any awareness campaign in schools to get the idea of self reflection across to the target audience in the real world.
Possible Outcomes
Stickers Promote self reflection and putting your needs first to teenage girls in Vermont. They will incorporate the brand identity and have a feminine design that interests my audience, so they will want to take one and pass them around. Everyone likes stickers.
Facebook Posts Videos, stories, memes, or other things that members in my target audience can share on their Facebook, and other social media pages, that promotes the awareness campaign.
Activities Events or activities that schools or clubs can organize to get teen girls to reflect upon themselves in their personal, social, and cultural and spiritual settings.
