proposal

The theme I have chosen is child abuse because there is a lot of research out there explaining child abuse, I know quite a lot about child abuse. This wont be too hard to do I just need to decide how I am going to do it. There are lots of different types of child abuse which gives me a lot of information I can put down.

I want to create a poster showing the different types of child abuse because some people might not know what all of the different types. I will add some pictures but have more writing than anything.

I want a big picture the middle of a child looking sad, and surrounding it is information about the different types of child abuse, I might have some more pictures but I am not sure yet, I think that an image of a sad child will attract more attention, There is a lot of different pictures of sad children for child abuse posters.

This is one example of child abuse, This is showing physical abuse which most people think child abuse is. However there is a lot more than just physical abuse, but this is a good example to attract someones attention. It creates a lot of sympathy for the child. This would be the most common example on child abuse posters because it is the most eye catching. You can find a lot of these posters on bus stops because they are usually in busy areas where people past every day and something like this would stand out.

I want to have a big picture in the middle of a child who is looking sad and then having the different types of child abuse around it. I will not have the main picture of the child having bruises because I want to show that there is more than just physical abuse.





This picture would be effective because even though it doesn't show a picture of a child who has been physically abused people know what it is advertising because of the teddy bear, the teddy bear is linked with children.






This poster shows a child who has been beaten. This would be very eye catching and is the most common type of picture used on anti child abuse posters. This can also be useful to children who have been abused they now know that they should talk about what has happened to them because there are those who do not have the choice to tell people how they feel and what has happened.

This picture was created by an artist called Lanny Sommese, and can be found on the website Retinart. The image shows someone reaching up to someone, however the person is in a defensive position saying that they dont want it. Also it doesn't show the gender of the person showing that it is not just girls who get abused.

child abuse

Child abuse

There are lots of different types of child abuse, some is physical, sexual, emotional or neglect. It can be caused by adults or other children and can take place at home, school or anywhere.

Neglect is where the parent or carer fails to feed the child or give them their basic needs for whatever reason, it also includes lacking attention and love.

Physical abuse is where the child would be punched, kicked, beat, burnt, strangled, poisoning. Most of physical abuse is taken place at home using objects. In most places child abuse is illegal.

Sexual abuse is where someone gets a child to perform sexual acts with them, or showing a child's genitals. Also sending child porn, all of this is illegal.

• Can be caused by life events like being neglected unequal parent treatment of siblings. 
• drugs can cause depression.

Depression is where someone is in a state of low mood, they feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless. They might loose interest in activities they used to do ans enjoy, it could also make someone want to commit suicide. It makes you feel like a failure and find it hard to sleep and when you do get to sleep you can have disturbing dreams. You can get physical aches for no reason.

There are different ways to help with the depression, one way is taking medication another way is going to groups to talk about it.
