For my final poster my aim was to raise awareness about the increasingly present issue of domestic violence in New Zealand. To do this I wanted to create a hard hitting storyboard to make people realise that our patriarchal male society needs to change and that aggression and domestic violence needs to be recognised for it to be stopped. My final poster reflects the strong emotions presented in my haiku; those of painful memories and trauma. I kept this poster black and white as I felt this would best represent the bleak and harsh reality of the main character (the child that has fallen victim to domestic violence). I also consistently kept the father as a black silhouette to depict both the child’s fear of him as well as the father’s lack of compassion. This omnipresent black silhouette appears in most frames illustrating that either the father or the fear of him is a constant thought that disempowers the boy and leaves him with feelings of hopelessness and despair. Eventually the son turns into a black silhouette himself, signifying he has become his father and the cycle of domestic violence continues.
