Nida Batool

Hi, I’m Nida. I love creating and delivering meaningful design solutions that bring positive change. I enjoy producing illustrations and animation work as well as branding and publication design. For the Activation studio project, I focused on the subject of body image targeting young girls who are influenced by society’s beauty standards. My campaign intends to encourage the idea that different is beautiful and eliminate the concept of beauty standards.

'Embracing differences #2'

This moving poster seeks to communicate that different is beautiful by portraying an illustration of a girl with ideal lips which then alters to smaller lips. Thus demonstrating that beauty should not be measured in terms of how much one fits into the standards of beauty.
