Safeguarding Poster for Newcastle College.

I was asked to create a poster that would help promote

awareness to Newcastle College’s safeguarding measures. I
designed a poster that represented the theme race and how
we should all be treated equally while showcasing all of our
unique differences. I created 2 posters one of which was a
more friendly looking and topic linked poster and the other
being a more discrete way to showcase our differences
among the college students. I won this competition with this
specific design out of the whole Newcastle College.
