Research into Existing Posters

I began by doing some initial research into existing posters on trafficking. I came across this project on behance called 'fractured fairytale' as many of the women trafficked are promised of brighter futures. I love the aesthetic of it, I only wish I had thought of this myself! It is a poster series based on the designers made up twisted fairytale of Peter Pan, the sex slave being in 'neverland'. I like the Jamie Reid-ness of it, looking at the ransom letter type. Its not obvious but I would say its hard-hitting. 

Below, the element of photography makes human trafficking seem a lot more real as well as a real life story. I think its a shocking poster and makes you feel very uncomfortable reading and looking at it. 

Another poster I found on Behance. I've noticed a lot of the posters for trafficking use black & white with the use of red type. The connotations of red being energy, passion, action, ambition and determination.

Another really nice campaign I found, the promotional zine called 'red thread movement' a nonprofit organisation that rescues people out of human trafficking in the country of Nepal, and raises money for refugees' education through fair trade of red bracelets handwoven by the rescued themselves.The zine's purpose is for awareness, as well as informative to the viewer of the entire organisation. It comes with a red thread bracelet, and a poster. I like this idea a lot, I want to do something similar but not copying it could be an issue, but I would like to have wrist bands, badges, tote bags etc. 

Poster design for the 'Anti-Human Trafficking Network' based in Bangalore.

Another project I found on Behance, it is the brand identity for Innocence Atlanta, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to ending child sex trafficking. I quite like seeing the colour pink instead of red, I understand pink is a stereotypical 'girl colour' but here I think it really works and is very effective. I also really like the statement, 'His Fantasy.Her Future' and 'My voice. Her future' its matter of fact and work and most importantly bold and rememberable.  

I found a lot of stuff like this below, 'give her identity back'
