My rebranding for Barnardos charity ideas.
The current target audience for barnardos is adults, however children need to know about the dangers they face, not just adults, changing the type of font they use in their posters may attract children so that they understand what is staring at them as a risk.
Barnardos images are a bit graphic, and not suitable for all audiences. By reducing the amount of violence in the images currently presented, children will come to understand its meaning and an increase in brighter colours such as red, blue, yellow and green will do just as good for the benefit of the children around us.
The way things are presented in their advertisements are very hard to understand for children, so maybe simplifying it will give them a chance to learn all about what Barnardos do and how they can help or go to them for advice and comforting. Barnardos needs to seem approachable, for if a child has something to report, what is the use if they are too nervous or scared to approach them?

My child abuse Poster Collage
This is my Poster collage for child abuse and parental imprisonment. It has several features showing the terrors of child prostitution, physical and mental abuse and no right to speak as shown at the bottom of the collage.
Charities - Barnado's
Barnado's is a charity that focuses around children with poor lives at home, school and have lost their chance at a future. They work to prevent parental imprisonment so that children will be free to live their lives in this world. The theme their logo is based around may be Unity, the freedom for children to be together and living their lives to the fullest.
Their poster campaigns aren't as graphic as the other charities, but they make a point. Child parental imprisonment must be stopped at all costs. It shows a child, possibly abused sexually, as it states that it "ABUSE THROUGH PROSTITUTION STEALS CHILDREN'S LIVES." This sends a clear message to any audience, mainly to adults about the consequences to child abuse.
Charities - NSPCC
The NSPCC are another Children Protection charity responsible for the sole purpose of prevention of child abuse, they don't focus too much on poverty abroad and such, but children in homes being abused are their top priority. The image above seems to send a message of safety, the colours represent that of a first aid box.
The poster campaigns they show are usually highly graphic and for some, upsetting. These images are graphic because the message they give must stick out, so it may be transferred to EVERYONE.
Charities - Save the Children
This children's charity is save the children, they are a charity dedicated to preventing child abuse and so take action against it by giving the accumulated money to organizations that prevent it.
Save the children currently work in 120 countries and counting, they have provided great aid to many countries but their most admirable work was the 2012 Child Poverty Act, where millions of children were saved from hunger and disease.
It's not only Practical work they do that inspires people, their Poster Campaigns are a major attraction to their cause and more and more donations come in as each day passes by.

Andy Warhol Research
Andy Warhol remains as one of the most iconic artists to this day.
Even after his death, his art portrayed famous icons, as was his main focus. Andy Warhol was a leading inspiration in the pop art movement for everyday people to have their own pieces of art.
a foundation was made for him in 1987, in accordance with Andy Warhol's will, its mission was to help in the advancement of the visual arts.
Andy Warhol was, to say the least a bit of a snob, he used to spend a lot of time with famous people at parties and other social and celebratory events. During the 50s, they were just coming out of the war. Everything was dull, uniforms and wreckage was plain black and white, but Andy Warhol saw past that and produced vibrant colours to portray the famous icons of the past and present. His popularity continued onwards past the 60s and revolutionised pop art today.
The term Pop Art, derived from the words popular art is exactly what it was and what it became.
In my opinion, this was a turning point in history for art, resembling and capturing the image of many a famous person, this did indeed push art not just to the rich but to everyday people and spreading its popularity and freedom to right to art.
