Letter Final








Dear my darling McDonalds.

Who is this "I'm" in your slogan, because no one is loving' it. Every person that walks in McDonalds doors knows what shit they are about to consume: fat, sugar and chemicals. They probably walk past multiple outlets that serve nutritious, hearty and healthy food that is prepared faster than McDonalds or even comes ready to eat right off the shelf. But no, even dieting women blindly waddle past these these cheap healthy food joints and bounce their way to your golden arches. It should be a crime to market your food as a healthy option. The thrown sprinkle of shredded McLettuce, lying on your McTurd patty, does jack-shit for a women's thigh circumference. What's worse is when you associate your oil soaked brand with the beacon of dieting, Weight Watchers. These obese women as well as their rollie-pollie husbands and off-spring now think BigMacs are healthy. You're twisting people's perceptions of food. Your international brand has a chance to redeem itself and actively promote exercise. No, not a clown on packaging or jingles on TV, but rather a McGym, a McRunningGroup and a McFatCamp is what I want to see. It's taking up the other end of the bargain. It's giving back to the society you have harmed and it's making a change in the world's obesity statistics. The McMarketingMasterMinds won't need to  brainwash our numb minds into thinking Maccas is health, but rather preach it honestly. 


I wanted to make the connection between McDonald's burgers and its ingredients. The ingredient list  is something most customers never get to see. Every product has a paragraph of ingredients, and most ingredients have numbers (344,220,310)  and percentages (34%). It is far from natural. The photo also expresses how unnatural the packaging is.


Final Poster

Taken in a McDonald's Toilet Cubicle

I took what McDonalds is subliminally associated with and added it into my poster. 
  • The star shape is seen in most of their adverts as the place where the price is located. 
  • The simple basic font in the logo
  • The recognizable shape of the fries packaging
  • The Infamous red (#ED1C22) and yellow (#FFC20F)
  • The golden arches
  • 'Mc'


It all implies McDonalds without copying them directly. 

I specifically used abrasive language to contrast McDonalds 'fun' and 'happy' appearance and marketing angle. McDonalds uses positive emotive language like 'succulant' and 'crisp', but words like shit and fuck directly appose this.

I used a cut out method in the main heading, revealing the gross B&W burger and logo underneath, to visually display McDonald's need to have transparency in their menu and methods. Allowing customers to witness their food being prepared is not enough.

Precedent 




Final Word



Through marketing and advertising, and brand association, McDonalds have mislead the public and their customers about their products' nutrition and global impact. I have used LEAD in the first picture as they are the world leaders of their fields, but like their customers left in the dark, the truth is too.

Letter Precedent

What I want to take from this precedent is the boring and plain font, the distinctive boarder and the constant commas, brackets and statistics.

Initial Poster Ideas

#1

A cardboard advert sign seen on McDonald's countertops.
The idea is to have a clean poster appearance with a strong direct light pointed at the front, making a strong shadow at the back, with dirt and mess dwelling in the shadows. It would symbolise the difference between the clean appearance they display versus the shitty reality of their 'background' (food, management, cunning marketing and world impact).

#2

A McDonald's Tray Where the message is written in oil stains amongst mess. A possibility could be too use fancy ketchup to emphasize a word.


Letter Idea

The letter will be an altered McDonald's Ingredients list. As there is so many ingredients in each individual ingrediant...

eg. CheeseVegetarian Cheddar (51%), Water, Butter, Vegetarian Cheese (9%), Whey Powder, Milk Proteins, Emulsifying Salts (Trisodium Citrate, Citric Acid), Natural Cheese Flavouring, Salt, Preservative (Sorbic Acid), Colour (Natural Carotenes, Paprika Extract), Anti-caking Agent (Soya Lecithin).    
I thought each ingredients list could be a paragraph. The false paragraph title, eg Fancy Ketchup, will be grey so it will not confuse the reader. There will also be a comma between each few words, random numbers, percentages and brackets will be in grey and in the background also.

For example.


Big Mac Sauce
Further more (34%), the quality of (20%), their burgers is, beyond (311), nasty, and, cheap.


The format will be in a clean looking pamphlet, with boarder, watermarks, logo and Ronald McDonald.

Word Idea Sketches

My Da Vinci-like sketches (seriously)

I am going to make the most of the 2 picture opportunity. In the first picture I will have only LEAD visible and an arrow pointing in a direction; symbolizing they are the leaders in international fast food. But in the second picture, the fill MISLEAD is shown; this symbolises both their abuse of public trust, misuse of their international leadership and their customer manipulation through advertising and marketing.
These are my favorite grid and layout ideas.

...for profit. It's the buisness of making money off peoples illnesses. Cures are bad buisness, and so its not possible to have the 'quality of human life' in mind when bad quality of human life rakes in money.

It is unethical to mix money with health.

McDonalds

  • Control
  • Ignorance
  • Mold 
  • Seduce
  • Brainwash
  • Manipulate
    "I'm lovin' it"
    • No one is lovin' it, everyone is unsatisfied after eating it but due ti the marketing, outlet locations and subliminal massaging, people go back again and again, eating shitting burgers that they do not enjoy.
    • Also, the world as a whole does not enjoy the impact of McDonald's has on the world (Waste/Health/Impact on 3rd countries)
    • McDonald's also has the capacity to make a massive positive change on the world. A company this big has a duty to give back and equalise the harm they have caused
