Be careful of the person you trust, be careful, he may be a trafficker.
The poster depicts a broken guitar and a lion’s face behind the strings. The guitar and the lion represent the victims of human trafficking. Just like the guitar, victims’ lives are broken. Like the lion, victims of human trafficking are imprisoned. Victims are also angry. Red conveys anger. Besides, red also represents blood, which indicates that victims are harmed by human trafficking.
Because women are the main target group of human trafficking, the poster uses the red lips of women and the positive and negative forms of the band to express the rejection of human trafficking through music and call for public attention to human trafficking.
For my iteration of “Shadows After Dark” to raise awareness on human trafficking, I wanted to focus on the inhumanity of the transporting and selling of people as if they were products you could pick up at the store. I chose to illustrate a girl being trapped in a box as she’s being shipped from one location to another. No human should be trapped and treated in this way.
Children should be free like others. Swinging is children’s freedom, traffickers shouldn’t take away their swings. Red color represents violence and chained child silhouette to a swing represents child trafficking victims.
Be careful of the person you trust, be careful, he may be a trafficker.
My poster is dedicated to the most frequent victims of the slave trade. The woman is trying to hide and save the child. The color scheme hints at the fact that she is naked. The contrasting black cage represents all the evil of this crime.
