No passport, no freedom. | Brazil

submissions

The poster depicts the passport of a human trafficking victim, with the normal passport data altered to fit his current condition. For instance, the date of issue is switched for the date the person went missing. Another detail is how the stamps on the lower page reflect the tragectory of the victim: leaving their home and thinking they’re getting to a dreamland, just to end up in a literal hell. Below there is an adapted phrase of a real human trafficking victim. The original phrase says: “at first they took my passport as a guarantee that i would pay them back, what i didn’t realize at the time is that they also took my freedom.”

Terminal Signs | Brazil

submissions

The poster depicts a bunch of airport terminal signs in their usual manner. The only difference is that instead of pointing directions to places in the airport, the 2 lower ones depict the direction that the unaware victim is heading after passing through customs: captivity and forced labour. The slogan at the end warns the viewer to “look at the signs” which means not only to look at possible signs of human trafficking, but the literal act of looking at the airport signs.

Gone | Jamaica

submissions

The poster design titled “Gone” was inspired by the given song “Shadows After Dark.” The words in the design act as an expression for the calling of action against human trafficking. From the type of the font to the highlight of the ‘Gone’ serves to emphasize the seriousness and the rugged feel the thought of another person is gone missing due to human trafficking. The poster design speaks to the general public to take human trafficking seriously before it ends up being one of their close family or person that they know. When a design speaks directly to the viewer, he or she is better able to relate and take action to the purpose. Persons hardly stop and read a text unless it is big and bold. The red colour that is in the word ‘gone’ not only highlights the seriousness but grabs the viewer’s attention. When a person looks at the poster design, the first thing they are going to see is the word gone. This leads the viewer question to themselves as to what or who is gone, which only leads the viewer to read the entire poster to know.
