Public Health Campaign Exploration and Inspiration

In order to create a gun safety campaign that is compelling and thought-provoking, I have been looking at existing public health campaigns for various other hazards.

Some consistent themes/methods used in these ads include vanity, design fiction, images of children, visualizations of more abstract ideas, objectification, disturbing imagery, and symbolism.
