Description

Each poster in the Turn Around series touches on a domestic abuse issue: sexual assault of adult women, sexual abuse of children, physical abuse of children and the effects of domestic abuse on the entire family. A symbolic graphic approach with understated typography was chosen to best communicate to a general audience of all ages and races. The posters are intended to strike a chord with abusers as well as their victims.
