Cluster Munitions Coalition poster


Brief: produce poster designs for the CMC, an anti-cluster bomb organisation whose website can be found here.

The CMC’s goal is to protect civilians from the effects of cluster munitions. I wanted to focus on the specific danger of children discovering the bombs and going to touch them or pick them up, unaware of what they actually are. It's a continuing problem. Kids are by nature intrigued by new unfamiliar discoveries and are very tactile, keen to get closer to and interact with objects they find.

Using the visual language of storybook imagery I created a subtle composition which reflects the universal naivety and curiosity of children stumbling across curious objects they cannot identify.
