Motion-Graphic Posters_At the hidden corner, word need to be out
The first step in solving a problem is to recognize its existence. An exhibition can do a brilliant job to record, promote, and bring empathy. So I decided to create an exhibition called “At the hidden corner, word needs to be out.” to achieve such a goal. The exhibition aims to promote stories about Hidden Victims in modern China. It provided a safe and respectful channel for Hidden Victims to express and share. whilst being a promotional material to increase public awareness of their plight. The exhibition's name was inspired by "Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives (Chris Glaser, 1977)", a documentary about daily reflections on the LGBT community. While the documentary focused on a group of minorities, my project aims at another category. Generally, me and other designers made a printed publication alongside with three posters as final outcomes. The publication includes 30 victims, 11 cases, 3 types of crimes. All crime events in the exhibition were classified to violence, sex assault and fraud. As a visual designer, I collected the most typical three as the main elements for the posters design. Each object was coloured with one single colour and represented one crime category.
