These ads are seriously a World of Wrong. Way to disembody and dehumanize the victim all in one go.
Triple bonus fail for putting all the emphasis on images that reinforce the very thing the posters are trying to combat while coupling them with small grey type and confusing copywrighting. Yeah, I’m real sure this message of non-violence will get through to the people driving past them.
Insult to injury: they were designed locally, by an all-male creative team. Awesome.
Hey, Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, if you’d like to hire a Providence-based, female, feminist designer for your next poster campaign, I’d love to talk to you.
