About Against Suicide Social Graphic
Against Suicide is a social awareness poster created to address the taboo around depression and suicidal thoughts. A large vector illustration shows a chain reaction of small triggers and the phases of a suicidal process, together with possible forms of support. The poster is intended for public places such as squares and transport stops, where viewers have time to study the many details. The quiet design aims to help affected people feel understood and to lower the reluctance to seek help. Production is possible as a large poster, a flyer or a newspaper print.
