Reach out | United States
My design is about a young girl who is involved in human trafficking reaching out to somebody and that somebody is also reaching out to help her.

This is my second poster. I thought about the helping people who is struggling. Human trafficking is a serious issue. I thought it is like drowning in the water. You’re trying to survive but it’s taking you down. But a help -like a life saver- can save you from that water. So just hold on for help.
Where we can not see,darkness is creeping down.
Millions of children around the world are happily playing war games with cheap plastic toys, manufactured in a mass prodcution process.
In my work I have chosen to present a toy soldier, taken from a popular and innocent children game.
This toy soldier represent thousands of children which are serving as soldiers in armed conflicts around the world.
“These boys and girls, some as young as 8 years old, serve in government forces and armed opposition groups” (Human Rights Watch.org).
The shadow after the darkness is hanging over the heart of every mother who is unfortunately trafficked. In the darkness, it seems that there are countless pairs of men’s hands coming to them. They feel desperate and struggle hard. They were forced to scream and cry for help. Only the tears and the distant cry were muffled in the silent night.
Change the meaning is a typographic poster. I tried to bring a dynamic between the word “slave” and “save” where the victim becomes the missing L. My intention is to make people think that if we save that girl we change not only the meaning of the word but the meaning of the lives of victims of human trafficking.
I wanted to show that people aren’t just things that you can buy and use.
“A Hidden Crime” is a poster that emulate a Horror Movie Keyart. In this case that blurry image of the person behind the surface communicate what is going on now. It is a way of create awareness of this global crisis: Human Trafficking.
Human traffickers prey on people who are poor, isolated and vulnerable. It Iis not only more and more that educated, intelligent, well-groomed people are becoming victims of human trafficking.
However, individuals are vulnerable to trafficking not only because of conditions in their countries of origin. The allure of opportunity, the constant demand for cheap goods and services, and the expectation of a secure income drive people into potentially dangerous situations where they are at risk of exploitation.
With this poster I wanted to create awareness of the child labour part of human trafficking. Children are being lured away from their families and homes by tempting offers of money and stability. When the children arrive they only find relentless labour and poor working conditions. My poster tries to visualise the children who are bound to their labour (in this case a sewing machine in a sweatshop) and are unable to go to their families.
