Sometimes it takes a spark
My poster seeks to show the dangers of human trafficking and how it preys on people smaller then them. Human trafficking targets our most vulnerable populations and seeks to manipulate them into a life of servitude. I wanted my poster to frame the large looming presence of such evils in a way that de-emphasizes the role of the victim as they are not the ones commiting the crime, but a innocent person who got caught up in a horrible industry. However human trafficking is a evil so horrific it is a bit hard to comprehend and truly understand the depths of the depravity, which is why I chose to do simplistic almost cartoonish hands. These abstract things that might feel far off but in reality are reaching over you.
Kidnappers often look for targets with their eyes. Using red as an alert effect. The writhing lines represent the changing ways of kidnap by bad guys. In the center of the poster is the eye of a voyeur. At the same time, zoom in to see that the background of the poster is made up of countless eyes.
The poster is targeted at a youthful audience and tries to depict the danger in letting anyone control you. Hence the game controller.
My hope is that it speaks to young people and warns them to take control into their own hands. It feels like an important cause, so hopefully we can make a difference…
The poster is made entirely in illustrator. You can always contact me if you would like the original file (or make small changes).
Human trafficking is horrendous and absolutely disgusting.
In the face of evil, fear and retreat. We should not curl up and face evil together.
Under the mask of hypocrisy, they kidnap women for criminal trade
Please stop human trafficking, stop bloody violence, stop organ trading,stop human trading, and protect vulnerable groups.
