Domestic Violence - which one 2 go 4?

[[iPain]] & [[hidden scars]]
The link with the heart is to show that domestic violence not only has a physical effect that we are always shown but also an emotional effect that is often not visible!

Any comments appreciated!

Thank you'z ;o]>

I do like the idea, but its very much similar to the old iPod ads, these are now outdated, so automatically makes the this poster feel outdated. Im also certain Apple wouldn't allow such images i.e. the iPod, the styling used for commercial use, but not entirely sure.

Text wise, less text the better imo, it has to be converted to Chinese so the shortest the tagline the better.

Personally, I preferred the original approach where you used the stitched heart on the skin of the victim. Worked alot better and also wont be associated with another product/company,

I love the second one, the imagery is really excellent, its simple and works. perhaps just look at the text and see if could be shorter, as morgan said the less text the better.

great idea and excellent effort :) haha i sound like jeff lol

I'm not quite sure what the hidden scars one is about?

Has she just broke up with her boyfriend? she sad? For a lack of a better term its all a little emo
and doesn't clearly make me think of abuse.


I would remove the stitches and photoshop bruises on her, in a loose heart like shape.

Pink, purple and red will help tie the bruises and heart together. I'm not so sure about the text maybe some like

'Love hurts'
Nice and short...

... Glad you agree :).

but yep thats my two cents xD

Alex is the new me!

Ok I agree with all the comments - Morgan's in particular is incisive.

Great images though
