- Why did you choose this as your illustration example? I chose this picture because I believe it is very powerful without any actual forms on the paper. Visually it makes you think when part 2 is shown in a different light the word Pain is read and this in itself with the ad about Child Abuse can evoke emotions with just a single word.
- What kind of illustration is this? This is a digital photo of a person holding a blank paper though in the right light we see it has embossed type on the surface.
- What is the purpose of this illustration? The purpose of this is to show awareness of child abuse, and what the children experience. Just because something may not be seen, doesn’t mean that in another light it isn’t there. Abuse is not something that is always easy to point out.
