Trafficking of Children

Based on previous experiences of seeing these vulnerable children wandering the streets as prostitutes, it was an easy choice as a topic. Much of the writing has to do with explaining the different factors and circumstances that get children involved in this kind of industry. After giving the audience enough information, persuading them to take action was the next step. This involved incorporating existing non-profit organizations on the brochure to add realism. Gaining empathy through the wording of the body text and the factual data was the focus in this method of persuasion. A giant map of different countries who are committed to making a difference as well as those who are not were placed on the back. The map explores the actual numbers in the thousands of sexually exploited children per specific countries. This is to show the correlation between countries who have high rates and actually need to work towards a solution in stopping this act.

Caribana

Caribana is an annual event that displays a series of electrifying performances of Caribbean music and dance, stealing the spotlight along the streets of Toronto. The annual three day festival attracts hundreds of thousands of people from across the globe that come to enjoy the food, costumes and lively music. The main event is highlighted by a massive street parade along Lakeshore Road in which trucks loaded with speakers blast live Caribbean music such as soca, calypso, steelpan and dancehall. Using a range of different activities, young adults are often the highlights of the festival either through the creative costumes they have designed or the mix in music they have prepared. It is this audience that the festival project attempts to target; a youthful urban culture.
