3. Sexual Health
Sexual health is a very popular
topic at the moment, with the rise
of teenage pregnancies, although it
is not an easy problem to combat.
Personal approaches are usually
most effective as it is a very
personal subject. These could
include things placed in bathrooms
or toilet stalls reminding people of
the risks. This way the person will
be alone and comfortable reading
information.
Smoking
With solid proof of connections
between smoking and a series of
lung related problems, diseases
and cancers, the quantity of
campaigns raising awareness of the
risks has skyrocketed. I would
take a direct approach when it
comes to the target audiences,
placing posters in smoking shelters
and areas, as well as chemists and
hospitals and local medical
practices.
Text Driving
With the increase of mobile usage
and addiction, comes an increase
in drivers using their mobile
devices whilst on the road. My
approach to this topic would focus
on the danger it creates for
motorcyclists. A series of posters
could show the texts sent by
someone before they hit a
motorcyclist, or a very minimalist
image of a smashed up helmet
with text that reads the details of
the rider, the cause of death and
cause of accident.
Mental Health: Mental health is a theme I would like to focus on, PTSD
especially. PTSD is a problem that is rarely focused upon or talked about.
My approach would be a series of posters that allow me to show the
effects of PTSD. I would focus on using very thought provoking images
and bold short texts to capture the attention of the viewer.
