who is it aimed at?
do most Kuwaitis speak/read English?
I like the 'speak' line but agree it's too many words
and I feel that children don't witness domestic violence they experience it

Time to speak out, maybe?

And yes, perhaps the initial info is too long-winded.

Good imagery though.

Is it a poster for use in Kuwait? The sentence is too long and badly worded but the imagery is great.

Really like the imagery - very eye catching.

If the idea is to draw attention to the sheer volume of people suffering, could you just use the first sentence and omit the second one altogether?

Thousands of women in Kuwait suffer domestic violence daily.

It's time to speak.

Unless the message is that domestic violence damages children, in which case you could condense the second sentence and omit the first.

Domestic violence in Kuwait damages thousands of children.

It's time to speak.

Or, if you need to get both in as part of a campaign could you use different flyers with the same imagery and slogan but with different sentences at the top? Presumably as its flyers rather than a poster then details such as a website will be on the reverse.

It's eye-catching and I like the hand print but:
What is the purpose of this poster?
Who is the intended audience?
Where will it be displayed?

Love the bottom half, hate the words - where will it be located? If in Kuwait, do not need the country, if not, why focus on Kuwait when it is a worldwide problem.

take Lass's wording, but delete Kuwait and add a website at the end.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 04/01/2016 00:41

It's got too many words. The phrase "Not to mention " is a clumsy way of starting a sentence and doesn't add anything other than 3 unnecessary words.

1000s of women in Kuwait face domestic violence everyday. It affects them physically and emotionally and causes lifelong trauma to children [who witness it]

That's shorter but still not snappy enough.

It also needs something postive after the image - either something generic like "We can end this" or helpful contact details.

RoseDeGambrinus · 03/01/2016 23:11

Like the imagery! I'd expect to see contact details / a website or something at the bottom. The para at the top might be more readable in a less 'stretched' font and perhaps splitting up so each sentence is in its own paragraph?

More than 7 words on a poster is a no no supposedly. That is a very long sentence, especially with a comma.

Looks great!

DraenorQueen · 03/01/2016 21:03

I like it!

That's great! Very powerful, simple and to the point.
