Aids Posters

Posters for aids from the 1980's - 2000's

       


These are the different posters that I found on aids that have been shown to the public over the last 25 years.  When aids were first discovered you can see how there is a lack of support given to these people infected.  It is good to see the negativity that people had against aids when they were first discovered as this allows me to understand how much everything has changed and how people understands more about the effects of aids today. 

                 

Here people are beginning to understand more about this infection.  we now have posters aimed at different age groups informing people the different way in which they can't get infected.  Today we also have posters that focus on support.  They are trying to convince people to get themselves checked out and get their HIV treated. 

HIV, Alive and Well

My next project that I have been required to complete is a worlds aids day competition.  The brief is looking for work that can communicate positively about aids.  I feel the work should create a sense of hope and allow patients to reflect upon themselves and see that having aids is not the end. 

My initial idea for this project is to focus on colour to represent life.  I feel colour is a great way to elect thought, reflection and create hope within a person.
