About Against Suicide Bewustwordingsposter

Against Suicide is een maatschappelijke bewustwordingsposter die is ontworpen om het taboe rond depressie en zelfmoordgedachten bespreekbaar te maken. Een grote vectorillustratie toont een kettingreactie van kleine triggers en de fasen van een suïcidaal proces, samen met mogelijke vormen van ondersteuning. De poster is bedoeld voor openbare plekken zoals pleinen en haltes van het openbaar vervoer, waar kijkers de tijd hebben om de vele details te bestuderen. Het rustige ontwerp is erop gericht om getroffen mensen het gevoel te geven begrepen te worden en de drempel om hulp te zoeken te verlagen. Productie is mogelijk als grote poster, flyer of krantendruk.

Suicide and depressions are a taboo topic.
