Posters for United Nations Online Volunteers and AHURTOD

These are a series of images that I made for the Association Human Rights and Torture Defenders (AHURTOD)for the promotion of human rights and democracy in Africa. AHURTOD wanted their logo to incorporate Africa as a central component to the poster design. I had little research regarding the project but I wanted the message to be clear and universal. I first tinkered on the idea of incorporating quotes from famous African leaders regarding democracy and human rights in Africa (Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Former President Nelson Mandela quickly comes into mind) but I hadn't gathered enough so I just went on with creating the poster. I also wanted to translate the words EQUALITY, PEACE and JUSTICE of every language in Africa. Sadly, I realized that there were just too many languages in the African continent. Though that would be a great idea for a next poster.
