Human Trafficking

Although Human Trafficking isn't a very serious topic nowadays in most countries there are still lots of occurrences. Human trafficking is very secretive as it can happen under the authorise notice. This to me is a strong topic to look at as not everyone knows it still goes on today.

This Image (left) shows how trafficking is seen as a "sale", the models being enclosed in a food display cabinet shows how they are kept secured under there own will and that they have no way to escape. To me this image is very effective and eye catching as it makes you feel sick to your stomach and makes you realise how bad trafficking is.
The bar code photograph (right) shows how every person is seen as an object. I think this piece is really effective as the Bar code that is going over the models discards some of their features showing how human traffickers don't care about who they are or have any morals.


The model in the image (left), is being tied up by an airport travel label, this to me sums up human trafficking perfectly as they are seen just as "luggage". Even though the photograph is very simplistic it gives out a strong message about how traffickers see their "sale".
The sketch of someone lying in bed with a label attached round their toe saying "sold" , shows how people are seen as shopping items and will be sold to the highest bidder, this is wrong and against their human rights.




I chose Human Trafficking to represent "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude", as the people in human trafficking are slaves to the highest bidder. They have no freedom and people need to know.

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy.

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
