These are my social conscience posters. We were asked to highlight particular social issues and cater an ad to those audiences. For the first one I chose sexualisation of teens. Our children and teenagers have adult sexual themes imposed on them at crucial development stages. Women's Forum Australia says that "these impositions may compromise the child's psychological development. Children and teenagers do not have the same capacity to make informed decisions and exercise appropriate judgement. Premature sexualisation impedes cognitive development, limits children's freedom and is linked with serious mental health problems."
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children
- Nelson Mandela
For the second poster I chose use the 'say no to smoking concept'. The role that smoking plays in our society is a scary one. Whilst using the typical approach of a horrifying image I used a different approach with the text. This was aimed at women and plays on the part of that audience that are always striving to be beautiful. There is nothing beautiful about smoking.
