Message from the darkness | Japan

A phase

[Art director:Yasutaka Kimura, Designer:Ryosuke Kaneda]
Description: The truth behind the innocent girl’s smile was the appearance of a girl trapped in the dark world with a sad expression. A poster with a strong message that contrasts the girl’s smile and sadness in the world of light and dark, and appeals the problem of human trafficking straight to people’s hearts. I made it with the hope that it will be a trigger to rescue many children suffering from human trafficking and eliminate the damage caused by human trafficking.

A work that expresses the appearance of a child who is kidnapped by a family and sold to the dark world in the world of light and darkness, and conveys that the front world and the back society are two sides of the same coin and are the reality that exists right next to us. This poster serves as a clue to the ruthless reality of human trafficking, and we hope that many people will know the truth about human trafficking worldwide and raise their awareness so that a world where human trafficking will disappear as soon as possible will come. It was.

Price sticker | Japan

A phase

[Art director:Yasutaka Kimura, Designer:Ryosuke Kaneda]
The fact that incredible behavior continues to occur around the world, “putting a price sticker on a child’s hand, which we usually see, puts the price on the child and sells it.” Expressed the message that is close to us. A poster that makes the world view of the positive impression that parents and children hold hands, and the extraordinary sense of incongruity of the price sticker creates an impressive contrast between light and darkness, and makes people aware of the existence of children who are sold like things. I hope it will be a work that asks the hearts of many people about human trafficking, which is an inhumane act.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING | Poland

submissions

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), forced labor alone (one component of human trafficking) generates an estimated $150 billion in profits annually; according to a 2014 ILO estimate, 21 million victims are trapped in modern slavery. Ethnic minorities and highly marginalized groups of people are estimated to work in some of the most exploitative and harmful sectors, such as leather tanning, mining, and quarrying. The poster depicts a piggy bank without a hole to save money. This cannot be done when a person is a slave.

34-Faux Promises | United States

C phase

This poster focuses on the idea of luring. This bad individual/figure (a demon or the devil) holds a lollipop as its tactic to lure in a victim; in this case children. The lollipop also plays as a hypnotic spiral to emphasize the idea. A snake is hidden within showing that this particular candy is not safe to eat. “FAUX PROMISES” refers to the promises or deal that the lurer will say in order to convince the victim (money, food, care, etc.) The word “FAUX” refers to faux candy which is fake candy that is often hand-made for props and decor.
