Social action and social media unit: Poster research and Photography plan






For my Photography I was very much inspired by the woman on the right wearing the words "Still not asking for it" on her partly naked body. The idea that women are asking to be assaulted and raped by the way in which they are dressed is absurd and this is the point in which I would like to put across on my Sexism poster. I don't think the poster will bear an image exactly like that however, the point that a women is not inviting you to rape her needs to be shown in the photograph in one way or another needs to happen










This poster also gives off the message that rape isn't the victim's fault as clearly expressed in writing at the bottom of the poster. On this poster there are also 6 female figures all dressed differently and below the words are clearly stated "Not asking for it" which is the same words on the woman's body in the picture above. The message is that no matter how you are dressed, what the circumstances are, it's not the woman's fault and by dressing in a certain way you are not encouraging it.










This is my own plan for my poster, it doesn't look like much but the idea is that I have one image and the slogan will stand out as the main message. The slogan will be "This is not an invitation" and the picture will be of a woman's legs wearing a short skirt. This idea stems from the "Not asking for it" poster and picture. This is the message that I will be trying to get across.












 The Image I will take will be of the bottom part of a woman wearing a skirt with a lot of leg showing. I may retouch the photo to smooth out any marks on the legs or if the picture goes well enough I won't. I'm going to be using a female model for this.
