Sometimes Words Hit Harder 1.0

For the Communication Design project. This was targeting verbal abuse, with the suggestion at a series of ads that talks about different forms of abuse. Usually people think of physical harm when they think of a child abuse, but realistically it comes in an obscene number of forms.

I used my own arm, enlisted my mom's painting skills, and the photography of my dad's beautiful Pentax istD SLR.

EDIT: March 29 2008, resubmitted with proper typesetting.

edit: June 2007 improved the typography.
And in case anyone is wondering, it's acryllic paint that I applied to my arm. It's not photoshopped on.

edit: Dec 16, 2008. Thank you all for your comments and feedback & fav'ing. Much appreciated and I'm very happy for how it's been received.

edit: May 4, 2010. Holy crow, 4 years ago I couldn't have imagined the kind of reception this is getting. Please bear in mind, 'endchildabuse.org' is not an real site, but the message, of course, is. Spread the word, end the abuse.
