ENLIGHTEN - OUR HUMAN RIGHTS

Enlighten – Our Human Rights
Graphic Design, Photography

The aim of this human rights awareness campaign was to place human rights into people’s environments in a more modern, accessible medium. Light installations would project the human right visuals onto these images at night, highlighting the importance of human rights to the target market of 19 – 24 year olds. 
Technique

Light Stencilling is the technique I used in this project. It is a photographic technique that involves long exposure photography using lights to create objects, add effects into a photograph that is not actually there in real life. Exposures are also made by moving a hand held light source behind stencils. Light graffiti is another name for this method. I felt this idea of graffiti was something the target market could relate to and it would create awareness for human rights in a more modern and present day way.
