Domestic Violence
I came across these images which are part of a campaign used to raise awareness for Domestic Violence which is exactly what I want my final proposal piece to be focused on. However I wanted to raise specific awareness into the victims of violence who go out of their way to hide their bruises and keep their experiences a secret rather than coming forward and telling someone about what
is going on in their homes behind closed doors.
The images consisted of celebrities who had bruises and cuts photoshopped onto their faces the slogan of the campaign was “Act”. The images made the celebrities look as if they had been very gruesomely abused. It was the explicitness of the images that intrigues me the most. There was nothing subtle about the images or the bruises. The extremity of these bruises I felt helped to almost exaggerate the seriousness of domestic violence and emphasise how inhumane people can be towards others. Grey London created the brutally campaign that is very straightforward and forces the viewer to focus on the blunt truth about the issue which is Domestic Violence.

Roman Sakovich
Roman’s half project was one which focused on a person’s face and a person’s face on drugs. I decided his work related to my domestic violence proposal as the on drugs faces were badly bruised and they looked almost as if they themselves had been beaten up. Initially when looking at these images I focused on the locations of bruises and decided an arm bruise was one which
could be very effective when creating my final piece images. The purpose of his
images was to show how drastic a person could look due to abuse.“Leaving the viewer with a stark visualization of the damaging effects of drug use on our bodies.” I was from the inspiration of these images that I decided to use make
up to create my bruises as opposed to photo shopping effects.
