About Boddi Advertising Series
Boddi.com aims to end the damaging cycle of unhealthy body image by inspiring mothers to choose a better message to pass on to their daughters. Boddi recognizes that the way the people closest to you view their bodies can have a profound impact on the way you think about your own, and that young girls look to their mothers as examples for how to talk about and think about their bodies. This poster trio points mothers towards Boddi.com and challenges them to think about the language we use to describe our bodies, and the impact it can have on the next generation.
“I shot the photos using a digital movie projector balanced on some books in my basement. The projector is getting old, which lent a gritty look to the photos that I ended up loving. It wasn’t fancy, but it worked!”
“Huge congratulations to our two Jim Rimmer $1,000 Scholarship recipients, Emma Sato (IDEA Grad 2022) and Sharleen Ramos (IDEA Grad 2021). The judges said there were over 40 entries from Vancouver schools, and only two winners.”
“Winners of the Jim Rimmer Community Scholarship for Design Award were announced Friday, November 29, 2019 at PRACTIVISM X: Igniting Societal Change Through Design presented by the Graphic Designers of Canada (BC Chapter) and held at Emily Carr. The judges were so impressed by the amount of effort and depth of thinking that they had to extend their deliberations on the 40+ entries this year.”

The Jim Rimmer Community Scholarship for Design Award is an opportunity for students to submit a completed project (or one currently in progress) for a community program, a non-profit, or an environmental or social cause.
