Despir o preconceito | Filipe Inteiro | TEDxPenafiel

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. An independent who turned his attention to design and, later, to communication. He lives with a passion which he intends to pass to others and excite all of those who are willing to undress themselves from their prejudices.

I was born in a family of immigrants in France in 1987 . My name was once , for 10 years, Philippe , as amended by my father to Filipe. A few years after we settled in Portugal , in Vila Nova de Foz Coa , highlight would be my peculiar taste for the arts . I had 16 when I started to realize the dream of many teenagers , living alone , which very quickly figured it would be something a little fun. I was then living for the city of Oporto , enrolling me in one of the best Portuguese schools specializing in the arts , Soares dos Reis . I have always been a good student throughout my school career , not the best , but highly esteemed by colleagues and especially by teachers . Also by that time had been attending in post- school periods , an amateur theater in São Mamede Party in which , unfortunately , I had to separate myself to join the College , this time in the city of Aveiro . Anyway degree in General Design from the University of Aveiro , was there, guided by curiosity and the desire to learn , that my taste for Design has developed and refined . Concluded later a Masters in Communication Design from the School of Architecture of Lisbon , where I developed as part of my dissertation, a project entitled " Undressing Prejudice " ( practical part of the thesis ) . This is a project that has two awareness campaigns / communication about the prejudices associated with cancer disease. One of these campaigns had the support of the Association Cancer with Humor in its spread , showing the fantastic smiles these inspiring people . A second campaign that has not been disclosed and that addresses the prejudice of mastectomy (total breast removal ) it also with the use of photography as a communication element. This master thesis titled "Photography in communication design, its contribution within the advertising campaigns " , portrays , through photography , the inherent cancer side effects , demystifying the bias associated with the disease . I intend with this investigation realize the importance and added value of the use of photography in communication charitable campaigns within the sphere of Communication Design . This project , due to its importance in today's society , followed their own course . Initially , through an exhibition in Vila Nova de Foz Coa , followed by dissemination through several cities in Portugal , such as Braga , Beja , Coimbra, Porto , Póvoa , Cascais , Lisbon, Tomar, Faro , Maia , Tavira , Esposende Figueira da Foz and Matosinhos in mupis granted by local councils, who have embraced this campaign indefinitely.
