Unit 10: Campaign Posters

Posters utilising the hashtag (#ItsAbuseWhen):

In these posters I wanted to include the hashtag as a sentence, which I have also done in the campaign video. I have used very simplistic imagery, which I previously experimented with, to give the posters a similar eye-catching style. I also decided to include the link to the Facebook page in the bottom corner in order to link back to this page wherever the posters may be posted.

A factual poster to give more information on the statistics of domestic abuse in the UK:

In this poster I included three of the statistics I found in my research which I feel are most powerful when informing people on domestic abuse. I included the hashtag and the profile picture in the background of the poster in order to link back to the campaign, but not distract from the statistics.

For these posters I used a list of forms of domestic abuse from the ManKind website [1], as well as facts and figures from the Office for National Statistics [2].

I have also published a post on the Facebook and Twitter pages, detailing the domestic abuse websites and hotlines people can use when they are being affected by domestic abuse.

I pinned this post to the top of the Facebook and Twitter pages as I feel it is important information.
