I then decided to use ALL 3 words, 'Save Babies, Prevent Abortion, Kill The Urge'. I wanted to use a baby doll, a used condom and a pacifier and place them beside a black trash bag to signify the abandoning of the babies n stuff... and also everything else would be in black and white except for the 3 items to signify isolation and despair. However i can only find a barbie doll instead of a baby doll at home and thus decided to change the idea into "Save Yourself, Prevent Mistakes, Kill The Urge". The use of a gal walkin away shows that its to target young girls to show them that they can have the power to say 'No' and to prevent the risk of getting either pregnant or sexually transmitted diseases.
The class mentioned that the 3 items are not obvious enough (blend into the background) and also that the words/captions are too fixed at the corners (read off the page) . Another thing is there are too many words used (cluster).
However, the idea didnt translate well onto the product thus the very perfectionist ME decided to use another concept to show despair. I wanted to show 'the loss of a fren due to stupid mistakes' hence i decided to use a burning pic with nice memories(in black and white at the background) to show loss and nothing I do can reverse time.
The class responded that the caption 'Prevent Loss' does not coincide with the burning pic. This might be the fact that I was once again being too abstract for my own good. Using pass experiences unknown to people thye might not get my idea. They said the poster looks more like a 'Prevent Fire' poster to raise awareness of the dangerous red flame.
In conclusion, I will work and improve on the 'Abortion' concept and hopefully I can make it work!
