Peaches Geldoff reading Hamlet

Peaches - The Teen Voice- A modern code where peaches only communicates to teenagers using the Hamlet solioquay. The pink bold barcode revealed highlights sentences to shock and stop teenagers from suicide. “The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks”.
For peaches I researched a lot of interviews and articles written about her. One that I concentrated on the most was articles written about a show called “ In the mind of a teen”. This series was about her going across the country interviewing teens from all different backgrounds. This gave me the idea to communicate this piece graphically at the angle of a teenage voice.
Peaches has also hosted and presented many fashion shows so I want this design to be fun and colorful to reflect her youth.
As she represents a teen voice I decided that if she were to read Hamlet then her only audience would be to teens and to do this I came to the conclusion of creating some kind of code. So that adults couldn’t read what she was saying only teens and this would make it more interesting to teens.
My next thoughts were why would she do this? So I came to the decision that it would be to put teens off teenage suicide and to make the aware of the sheer implications involved if they were to commit suicide.
I put the soliloquy to the left side of the page and made the font larger on sentences that were contemplating suicide. This was so that when it is decoded by teenagers peaches message would read one of a shock tactic this is what will happen to you. “and by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;”
