Project Concept:
"Wild Design" explores the unique role of small advertisements in Chinese immigrant communities. These vibrant, informal ads, often posted on utility poles and public spaces, provide essential information such as job opportunities, housing, and legal services. More than just functional, they help maintain cultural identity and foster a sense of community among immigrants.
This project brings these "wild design" ads into the digital realm by creating an interactive ad generator. Users can input their information to create randomized ads, reflecting the grassroots creativity of these community-driven designs.
Cultural Significance:
These ads serve as both practical tools and cultural symbols. They help immigrants adapt to their new environment while preserving cultural connections. By digitizing this form of street culture, this project highlights the importance of design in building community and supporting immigrant integration.
