Bauble (2023)

A bauble reflecting the increase of domestic violence, over Christmas time.

Set a Christmas brief to focus on a social or political issue, I began educating myself on the increase of domestic violence cases over the christmas period. Creating baubles, I initially represented the physical abuse using paint techniques to suggest bruising.

I then went onto creating a type focussed design, highlighting the factors that contribute to this influx (being stuck at home, stressful family dynamics, an expensive time of year and increase in use of alcohol).
