Violence Towards Women

22 Feb , 2015   Gallery

Graduate Student: Patrice Anderson

Concept:

The concept of this project is to address the culture of violence towards women in rural, economically depressed areas.

Audience:

The target audience is the women caught up in a mentally/physically abusive relationship. The secondary audience is the people who know of women in this situation.

Visual Solution:

The solution is to grab the attention of women in places not visited by men, primarily bathrooms, and provide a way to learn more information to get help and/or success stories.

Materials:

This is to be delivered via poster that will fit on the back of bathroom stalls.

Findings:

As much as I’d like, I cannot solve the world’s problems which is what this project came to represent. After multiple and ever expanding solutions, I went with my original bathroom stall poster. The domestic violence theme expanded into a woman’s assistance informational poster.
