Looking for innovative ways to make your advertising class project stand out can seem like a daunting task. Everywhere you look ideas that you may have had seem to already have been taken. As a result you may feel as though you are not getting anywhere, even though your fellow class mates seem to be flowing with unique and awe inspiring ideas.

However, all is not lost. Even though it may feel like you are scraping the barrel for something, anything, you need not fret. All you need to do is dig a little deeper, be yourself and you will find something that will make your advertising class project stand out from the crowd.

You may want to think about the environment. Environmental issues are at the forefront of media attention these days, so it may be worthwhile to think about this. Then how are you going advertise the environment in a way that not just your class, but the whole school will know about?

Well you may want to consider these ideas:

Tie rubbish along a string that attaches from one end of the school corridor to the other end. At each end, you can have a notice informing any interested passersby about the amount of waste that is produced each year and the kinds of animals that suffer as a result. You can have these strings of rubbish dotted around your school with further facts and figures about environmental waste.

Why not hang an environment clothes line outside where students and teachers are most common. The clothes line can feature different countries explaining what they are doing to help protect the environment and what everyone else can learn from their examples.

Attach signs to bins that explain what happens when you recycle.

Inside the classroom you may want to perform a mock radio interview with a prominent spokesperson and an environmentalist where the radio host can ask questions as to what is being done, what functions are coming up (which can also be real functions) on environmental change and how we can help.

Another idea may be to post a poster around the classroom clock. Everyone looks at the clock during class time, but when they do this time they can read a short fact such as ‘every 60 seconds X amount of wildlife die from rubbish waste that has been discarded without proper care. You can help stop this by recycling all suitable materials that you use in the right way’

This however is just one main idea that has many sub ideas attached to it. To help make your advertising class project stand out, focus not just in the classroom, but outside as well. If you believe the idea you have is something that more than 30 of your fellow class mates should know, then why not reach out to the rest of your school population.

You may want to also think about going live on the school radio to talk about your idea, or send out emails about your upcoming advertising class project so people know what you are doing and when.

The environmental issue for an advertising class project may be a good idea for one person, but it may not for another. However, it all comes down to how you market your idea and what you can bring from it. It is easy to say that you could have thought of all the millions of ideas that are currently circulating the globe, but unfortunately, those times were not your time to do so.

However, with your advertising class project, make sure that your grab the opportunity with both hands and achieve something that you can be proud of. All it takes is a little time and effort. You may be working on an issue that has been done before, but the only difference is that you were yourself in your approach. Everyone has their own ideas, but it is bringing them out that requires patience and skill.
