Other Campaigns.


I have chosen to look at another charity campaign to see how similar or different they are from eachother. Previously i have looked at child campaigning but i am now looking at against anorexia.
Shocking Image- a really skinny girl seeing herself as bigger then what she really is, one extreame to another.
No Slogan- No words becasue the picture is catching enough.
Setting- Set in abedroom, shows how it effects everyone even an ordinary girl.
Logo- The logo of the charity is included with contact information.

textual Analysis.


In class we looked at a charity campaign poster,


Shocking Image- Blood on a bab's rattle, simple but a big message is projected.

Important Slogan- Typography is of kids writing, like it seems the child is tellying us, speaking out for help, Anchors the image meaning.

Message- Makes us think about how someone could hurt a chil and how bad it really is.

Background- White colour, makes everything stand out, also could be a babys sheet or a surface that a babie should feel safe.

Baby's rattle- Brightly coloured, similar shape to a base ball bat but in proportion of a baby's size.

NSPCC Logo- Specific campaign and contact information.

SlideShow,(Underneath.)

Underneath i have found two campaigns and i have noticed a few similarities, like the logo on the posters are the same promtoting and also being able to recognise the charity campagning. All of them have slogans that put forward the message that needs to be read with either shocking images or sad images, some images representing something else.

Codes & Conventions.

Most child abuse posters use powerful images and words that make people feel shocked and sometimes feel sick, i think this is a good way to leave an impression on someone to the dgree that they feel they need to help out this cause.

A lot of the posters have a slogan which helps link each poster to the campaign, sometimes the words themselve can be shocking even if is facts and statiscs of how much child abuse goes on, i think i will use this in my poster.

Other information included in these posters are useful phone numbers and websites to contact if this is happening to you or someone you know, they always give information of some one you can talk to and a number or website for you to use if you want to support the charity.
