Gone | Jamaica

The poster design titled “Gone” was inspired by the given song “Shadows After Dark.” The words in the design act as an expression for the calling of action against human trafficking. From the type of the font to the highlight of the ‘Gone’ serves to emphasize the seriousness and the rugged feel the thought of another person is gone missing due to human trafficking. The poster design speaks to the general public to take human trafficking seriously before it ends up being one of their close family or person that they know. When a design speaks directly to the viewer, he or she is better able to relate and take action to the purpose. Persons hardly stop and read a text unless it is big and bold. The red colour that is in the word ‘gone’ not only highlights the seriousness but grabs the viewer’s attention. When a person looks at the poster design, the first thing they are going to see is the word gone. This leads the viewer question to themselves as to what or who is gone, which only leads the viewer to read the entire poster to know.

No Trace | Jamaica

The design for the poster“No Trace” was inspired by current events that are happening in Jamaica. Since the beginning of the year 2021, there have been numerous females reported missing in various parishes without a clear trace. Human Trafficking is something that happens a lot in Jamaica, and most of the time females are the victims. I title the poster “No Trace” to emphasize the fact that the victim could be anywhere without a clear location point. My poster design acts as a call out to what is happing, using a strong voice and natural illustrative elements to identify the island of Jamaica. The phrase “ sooO Many Gone Without a Trace” was an adoption of the song lyrics given“Shadows After Dark.” This phrase contributed to the illustrative depiction of someone that is gone missing, leaving only a slipper of the victim in the middle of the road that is surrounded by natural elements. However, If you look closely you will see a sign that says“in your parish”. This was used to depict the parishes in Jamaica, which aims toward telling the viewers that this could happen in their parish as well and not just the popular parishes that are involved in human trafficking.
