Project Overview:
Not Just Local is a public awareness campaign designed to challenge perceptions about Egyptian-made clothing and inspire people to support local brands.
The project was developed as part of a Public Information Campaign course, focusing on reshaping how Egyptians view the quality, creativity, and value of locally produced fashion.
Concept & Inspiration:
The campaign was inspired by the idea that “local can be global.”
It encourages Egyptians to take pride in local craftsmanship, promoting homegrown fashion labels as modern, stylish, and high-quality alternatives to imported products.
The creative direction blends cultural authenticity with modern minimalism, aiming to make local fashion aspirational and globally relevant.
Design Direction:
-
Color Palette:
Warm earthy tones — beige, brown, and cream — symbolizing authenticity, elegance, and sustainability. -
Typography & Logo:
The logo mark merges the initials “NJL” into a contemporary symbol, representing both local identity and global reach. -
Visual Style:
Real, confident people shopping for local brands, reflecting trust, community, and national pride.
Campaign Message:
“Proudly made, globally worn.”
We encourage people to rethink what “local” means — and to see Egyptian fashion not as second best, but as world-class quality made at home.
Tools Used:
Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Image fx for modeling characters
