The following was a response for an entry I had submitted to:
Design Entry for a Design Group in my Area ---> 2016 Published/Created Work
THE DESIGN PROBLEM & SOLUTION:
Domestic violence affect differently people of color and ethnicity than the majority Caucasian consensus. But at the same time, the affects are similar. The design problem was how does one create a visual that matches an intent that also follows an impact to this problem? This was my attempt. Further, where does sex education come from? Sex talk is excluded from many, growing up. There are so many things that teachers cannot talk about in classrooms to their students. Public health is crucial in understanding the realities in discussions and awareness. In the medical industry the talk about sexual education is cut and dry. Without understanding the dangerous of sex and then adding the issue of domestic violence, the push towards tabeoness creates a flux of stress and danger. This visual was made to combat that.
The design was made to highlight in a poster the keys issues impact groups that consider themselves a minority status. The object was to keep five key components in the execution. They were to be emotionally effective, memorable, the use of common and recognizable symbols, relatability and simplicity.
What are your thoughts?

What do I really think? Some people, including muself are too afraid to ask for help sometimes. And even when it’s offered they are cautious to it’s availability. But there needs to be a change to a larger problem, larger than ourselves in order to learn anything from being HUMAN. I’m working on another project that may be helped with collaborators. Wish me luck.
