Week 2.1

Article: https://www.noted.co.nz/archive/listener-nz-2015/cheat-prey-shove-the-rise-of-elder-abuse-in-new-zealand/

• one in 10 older New Zealanders have suffered some form of abuse or neglect

• an estimated 17,500 cases of elder abuse
  and neglect will occur in New Zealand each year.

This is today’s poster I made using statistics found in a news article online. Although this poster is visually appealing, I don’t think the meaning is immediately obvious – I was thinking it would be interpreted as the elderly person isolated on the moon, separated from warmth and family in the house down below. However this isn’t obvious, I need to work on making my imagery clearer.
