Think Different Now?

This poster could be classified as very provocative. At the same time, it uses a strong image along with bold text, to create a serious effect and really grab the viewers eye. The photo is of a woman wearing underwear with a "Do Not Enter" sign on it, minus the words. This is obviously stating that the woman doesn't want any man, or woman, trying any sexual activities with her without her consent. With the deep impact of the image, there are words that state, "Have sex with someone who hasn't said yes to it, and the next place you enter could be prison." We now know that this is an ad attempting to diminish the crime of rape by targeting the public using a strong visual message.


With such a fierce message, this poster seems to be a great way to change the minds of the public. If it were to be posted somewhere well-populated, the rape crime would definitely be looked at differently. What is the goal of this poster? I assume it is to make people aware that rape is real and it happens, with the combination of imagery and wording it calls for a very touching message.
