Hope for brighter days | Iran

Right to life protects the lives of human beings. It ensures no one can kill you and thus safeguards your peace of mind. Each right plays a major role in the well-being of any human. These days they are violated endlessly and we need to come together to tackle this issue. As Michael Jackson said, we are the world. We are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day. So, let’s start giving. There’s a choice we’re making. We’re saving our own lives. It’s true we’ll make a better day. Just you and me! and we Hope.

The nature of offence | Canada

“Freedom of speech gives us the right to offend others, whereas freedom of thought gives them the choice as to whether or not to be offended.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.”
David A. Bednar

We leave in a era where offence comes easy and it’s even more easily taken. This conceptual posters intent it’s on challenging the perception of whats an offence. Offence it’s always incorrect, but not always offence it’s as offensive as many perceive it. Making a choice for some to end up offended.
The posters give two choices to the viewer, one it’s seeing it as a whole and reaching the quick conclusion that it’s offensive. But if taken on it’s parts ( fist, non aggressive word) it has nothing offensive about it.
The posters goal it’s to challenge and question the viewer, on not just how on we perceive an offence, but also on the reasoning to reach such conclusions. All depends on what the viewer chooses to see.
The blue scraping represents the censure of lapis lazuli, that in the process of limiting the message or idea, makes it even more obvious and emphatic. By turning a non offensive idea censure in the process, turns it into something more open to be interpreted as such.

We All Cry | Germany

We all cry. Take a second to image face melting tears. This pain might be temporary, but it is beyond compare with that of individuals who have lost their loved ones, momentarily or forever. You may not cry, they do, and their tears are forever within. But now, We are All Crying.

Choice | Bosnia and Herzegovina

This poster features the metaphors for our society faced with the issue of human trafficking and crime in general: the red hand representing the oppressors and devastation they cause, the white hand conveying the voiceless suffering of victims and culture in peril and the green hand representing the rest of society – those still in power to make things right. We all have a choice to either offer a helping hand or to look away, accept crime and be a part of it. It is a call to change ourselves so we can all have a better future, to realise what the real problems are and to help by listening, educating and protecting others.
