Being part of Amnesty International meant that I was lucky enough to travel to Amnesty's Headquarters in London. Here our group was tasked with creating our own campaigns to aid a fight against the fact that America is refusing to sign the Convention on the Rights of a Child. I strongly believe that unconventionality leads to success and so I decided to opt for an alternate route to my peers. Instead of highlighting how America's refusal to sign would effect solely children, I decided to look at how the bigger picture and how the entire population could be effected. Therefore I took to the streets taking photos of the public holding a sign saying either "have/having/was/am a child". I collated these photos albeit with repeats and experimented with exposure on Photoshop to create my campaign piece. The main message was to show the American Government that everyone is in one way or other related to a child and so the refusal to sigh the CRC will lead to many unexpected consequences.
