Bonus #10- Peace Poster Inspiration
Why did you choose the message you chose? How is this message important? How did you come up with your design?
I chose the message, “Stop bullying, before it kills someone” because I wanted to create a poster that got people’s attention right away. I put a DO NOT sign over the hand to symbolize, “stop bullying”. I also used an image of a girl who committ suicide. I wanted to display on my poster about the reality of bullying and what it can do to people, which I have shown is death. I wanted people to notice my poster because I am telling the public that we need to stop bullying because it hurts people many ways. This message is important because I want to let people know that kids are seriously affected by bullying so much, that many of them committ suicide to stop the suffering. I want to show the consequences of what bullying can do to a victim who has suffered so much of it. In the poster, I used very dark colours to represent bullying. I used black to represent suffering and red to symbolize blood and anger. I came up with this whole idea of this poster when I heard about a story where a girl committ suicide because she was always bullied at school. She couldn’t handle it anymore, so she killed herself. I used this story to create my poster and let the public know this happens and that we as human beings can take a step into preventing this type of situation from happening.
