Proposal

So, here my proposal for the project, under the guidance of My faculty and co-ordinator of Graphic Design, Mr.Tarun Deep Girdher, simple, inspiring and spontaneous person. He is a Graphic Designer,working intensively in to typography, development communication, symbol design, publication design and much more.
Background:
A well thought, communicating identity and promotion always helps organizations to achieve success in the market. Especially an organization who is not financially sound but still need to promote and expand their business. When I was looking for projects in the NGO sector, I came across Arzoo, an education and activity centre for underprivileged children, who really need an identity and promotion for their products, which will also be chance for me to learn a lot about branding and promotion.

Introduction:
Arzoo is an education activity centre created with an aim to provide a secure knowledge and livelihood base to the underprivileged children. Arzoo was conceived in the aftermath of the Gujarat riots in the year 2002, to provide love and guidance to the affected children. Arzoo is an initiative to touch every sphere of social relevance and strives to promote harmony through education and extracurricular activities. Arzoo also provides a platform for getting children involved in making various products out of recycled paper. I feel the current identity for Arzoo does not carry their intended message efficiently and there is scope for improvement. Additionally there is a need for promotional materials for their products which range from greeting cards, paper bags etc. to help Arzoo stay in the market and support their children.
