Answer
This poster makes us aware of the issue of hunger. It specifically highlights the fact that vulnerable, innocent children die of hunger, a fact that is hard to digest.

Answer
The image of the distended stomach is the focal point. The issue of hunger is emphasised by the way the word 'hunger' is distorted. The large ‘g’ seems to struggle with this discomfort to the spectator. The curling line formed by the intestines as well as the use of striking black and white contrasts serve to create a dynamic, eye-catching composition. The circular line, coupled with the large right-hand corner brings the message across in a factual, serious and no-nonsense manner.

Each basket is made from 100% recycled fabrics and sustainability has been given importance in the selection of materials.
