Take a Stance

Brief: Create a visual campaign for a social issue and a stance given to you. Our group was allocated the social issue/stance of pro-capital punishment. We researched arguments in favour of capital punishment and focused on the justification of ‘closure’ and the ‘prevention of re-offending. The campaign communicated the idea of one murder, not only ending the victim’s life but also the lives of many others until the murderer’s life was ended. The post-it notes built up an image of Keith Bennett (one of the victims of the notorious killer couple Ian Brady and Myra Hindley) and collectively symbolised every victim of his murder.
