When I first started to search for a concept for my poster, I started reading about human trafficking. I couldn’t believe the numbers that came up from a brief search. Although what I found was shocking, I decided to keep searching to find something related to human trafficking that is hidden in our day-to-day lives. And then I found it. The use of children on cacao farms. Child labor or child slavery, however you want to call it. The use of children to bring us the chocolate we eat. I used a picture of a cacao pod, and inside of it placed the faces of children most frequently found to be working on cacao farms. With this imagery, I hope to shock the viewers while they work out what they are looking at. I hope that this poster will help consumers think twice when looking at the simple chocolate bar we are all so familiar with.
