Fished | Mexico

submissions

This poster has taken inspiration from the harmful processes within the fish industry to illustrate the devastating realities of human trafficking. Like the fish in the ocean, victims of human trafficking are forcefully taken out of their homes and environments in large quantities and then placed in unnatural and uncomfortable conditions to be sold. They go from being free individuals in their natural habitats to enslaved commercial products in a matter of days.

For sale | Portugal

submissions

The “For Sale” poster was designed with the intention of not only sensitize the public to the topic in question, using the phrase “About 24,9 million people globally are victims of forced labour”, but also to allude to the desvalorization and objectification of the human being.
The ilustration was inspired by the people who “dress” themselves with advertising posters, practically playing the role of a outdoor. That is, treating themselves as if they were an object, making themselves go through inhuman situatuions like adverse atmospheric situations and often underpaid for it.
The goal was to make the poster as minimalist as possible so that anyone, within the theme or not, could understand the message.

CUT IT OUT | Kenya

submissions

The goal of my poster is to communicate the urgency and vigilance needed to curb human trafficking. To this end, I used a visual and verbal play on the phrase “cut it out” as well as a minimalist design of a paper cut-out chain of girls with an odd figure looming at the end. The sinister figure almost blends into the poster’s background and this is a callback to the song “Shadows After Dark” as well as an allusion to the secret and vicious atrocity that is human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
