Bullying posters







bullying is theme that my posters on. The poster effects everyone but is directed towards teens. It is saying that most teens that get bullyed acts like they dont care and it doesnt bother but deep down its killing them. It is a harsh poster by giving the worst posibilty of what bullying can lead too. I used the statistic Suicide is the 6th most common cause of death in teens due to bullying. By saying this message i would hope that bullies will see and think wow bullying really does hurt and lead to terrible things.
Some of the things i changed in these posters were colour,font and placing of the font. In all the poster the saying is "she acted tough like she didnt care" this is saying that there are so many people that get bullyed and act like they dont care but deep down there dying. In the first poster i used read font because it symbolizes depression and sadness. I used a font that stands out and made the words TOUGH and Care big.At the bottom i put BULLYING HURTS in capitals because it is the main message. In the second poster i dont think the message is as clear by the way the words are placed i dont think it is as easy to read. I think the poster is not as good becuase i dont like how the words on a slant look and red font suits the mood better. The first poster is the best because it gets the message across very easily. Just by looking at the poster the bullying hurts stands out and the image potrays that the girl is lonely and feels upset. Once you read the saying it is easy to understand how the girl feels.

Life After the Tsunami.One and a half million people become homeless in just a short moment when a huge tsunami swept overSoutheast Asia durinf christmas 2004.danchurAid collected aproximatley 70 million for the tsunami relief. The money was spent on emergency assistance in Sri Lanka and india for the bulding of houses,boats and fishing nets.4 years have passed and the program has been closed down.
Jonathon Moeller inspires many people. He writes and films about the issues that really matter in the world like poverty in India or the local shelter not having enough money.I remembered when this Tsunami hit it made me so upset just thinking about all the people who had lost everything some even losing family members. This was such an emotional time for everyone that is why i choose to write about this.

Bullying

My poster will be about the issue of bullying. It will be intended towards teens, I think this is a major issue for all teenagers today.
What is a bully? Bullying is when a person or group tries to hurt or control another person in a harmfull way. The three types of bullying are cyber,physical and psychological.Why do people bully? At least one of these types of bullying is seen daily in all schools. Bullies are often bullied themeslves or were once bullied in there life. People bully to get attention and think it makes them look cool. They take out their unhappiness on others and feel no responsibilty for their actions.
Bullying should be stopped. Stand up,dont stand back. Tell someone about it. Do anything you need to do to stop bullying.My poster will be intended toward teenagers and will be mainly about what you can do to stop bullying.
