ZERO HUNGER MIDTERM PROJECT

ZERO HUNGER: AI CAN HELP. HUMANITY MUST LEAD.
Theme: United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 — Zero Hunger

1. Project Concept and Inspiration

My poster focuses on United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2, Zero Hunger. I wanted to show how artificial intelligence and sustainable farming can help create a future where families have reliable access to nutritious food. My design uses a family photograph to represent the people who benefit from solutions to hunger. The message “AI Can Help. Humanity Must Lead.” reminds viewers that technology is a tool, but human responsibility and compassion are essential to lasting change.

2. Three Initial Design Concepts

Concept 1 — Technology and Agriculture

My first idea was to show the relationship between artificial intelligence and modern agriculture. I considered using farmland, digital technology, and natural colors to communicate how innovation can support food production.

Concept 2 — A Family-Centered Future

My second idea focused on a family photograph to represent future generations. I wanted viewers to understand that food security is about protecting people and building a healthier future for children.

Concept 3 — Global Action Against Hunger

My third idea emphasized the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through strong typography, recognizable logos, and a QR code. The purpose was to encourage viewers to learn about Zero Hunger and participate in positive change.

Final Concept and Sketch Development

I selected the family-centered concept because it creates an emotional connection between the audience and the issue of hunger. My composition places the main headline at the top, the family photograph in the center, and supporting information at the bottom. The SDG 2 logo identifies the campaign, while the QR code encourages further exploration. This arrangement establishes a clear visual hierarchy and keeps the message easy to understand.

Photoshop Design Process

I developed my poster using Adobe Photoshop. I worked with layers to combine the family photograph, blue rectangular banners, text, sustainability graphics, and QR code. I adjusted the placement and proportions of the elements to create a balanced composition. I also experimented with typography, color, and spacing to improve readability and connect the visual elements.

Final Poster and Design Rationale

ZERO HUNGER. AI CAN HELP. HUMANITY MUST LEAD.

My final poster communicates that ending hunger requires cooperation between technology, agriculture, and people. The family photograph represents the human impact of food insecurity and the importance of protecting future generations. The blue and gold colors connect the design to the Sustainable Development Goals while creating a strong visual contrast. The SDG 2 logo identifies the campaign, and the QR code provides an opportunity to learn more about the United Nations initiative. My goal was to create a meaningful poster that encourages awareness, responsibility, and action.

Three Initial Poster Concepts

Concept 1 — AI and Sustainable Farming

A drawing of farmland, crops, and technology, with the headline “AI CAN HELP END HUNGER.”

This concept shows how artificial intelligence can support agriculture.

I developed three concepts for my United Nations Zero Hunger poster. My first concept explored how artificial intelligence and sustainable agriculture could work together to improve food production. My second concept focused on families and children to represent the importance of food security for future generations. My third concept used United Nations sustainability graphics and bold typography to encourage global awareness. After comparing the three ideas, I selected the family-centered concept because it creates a stronger emotional connection with the audience.

Concept 2 — Families and the Future

A large family photograph in the center, ZERO HUNGER at the top, and the SDG logo at the bottom.

“This concept became the foundation of my final poster.”

Concept 3 — Global Action Against Hunger

A globe or world map, the UN Sustainable Development Goals graphics, a headline, and a QR code.

This concept emphasizes worldwide cooperation.

Final Concept — Families and the Future

I selected the family-centered concept because I wanted to show how ending hunger affects real people and future generations. My composition places the headline at the top, the family photograph in the center, and the sustainability graphics at the bottom. I included the United Nations SDG 2 logo and QR code to connect my design with the global Zero Hunger campaign. This layout creates a clear visual message that combines technology, sustainability, and human responsibility.

During my Photoshop design process, I worked on combining the family photograph, headline, blue banners, and sustainability graphics. I adjusted the placement of the photograph to keep the family visible and improve the overall composition. I also worked on the spacing and readability of the typography to make the Zero Hunger message stand out. The SDG 2 logo and QR code helped connect my design to the United Nations campaign. I am most pleased with the balance between the family photograph and the bold blue and gold design.

“Planned Five-Color Palette and Typography.”

My poster uses five colors to create a consistent visual theme inspired by technology, sustainability, and hope. Deep blue represents trust and global cooperation, while sky blue represents innovation and technology. Harvest gold symbolizes agriculture and hope, and green represents sustainability and the environment. White provides contrast and makes the supporting text easier to read. I chose bold, clean typography to make the Zero Hunger message stand out and create a professional appearance.

FINAL POSTER — ZERO HUNGER: AI CAN HELP. HUMANITY MUST LEAD.

My final poster, “Zero Hunger: AI Can Help. Humanity Must Lead,” represents the importance of combining technology with human responsibility to address food insecurity. I selected a family photograph because it communicates the importance of protecting families and future generations. The blue banners and gold typography create a strong visual contrast, while the United Nations sustainability graphics connect my design to Sustainable Development Goal 2. I included a QR code to encourage viewers to learn more about the global effort to end hunger. I consider this my final composition because the photograph, typography, colors, and supporting graphics work together to communicate a clear and meaningful message.
