I'm watching a programme about the sex trafficing of young girls. In some cases in Africa there are girls as young as three involved. I have never been more horrified about anything in my life. A recent movie called "Taken" has done well to highlight these issues. However, there still doesn't seem to be much awareness out there about human trafficing and I think it is my job as a graphic designer to make this situation known. Research trafficing yourself and watch Taken and you will hopefully feel the same way, if you work in the field of visual communication. Talk to others about it. Prompt them on the issue and see what their reaction is.

My journey in graphic design so far.
I am a second year graphic design student who has recently come to grips with the art of stone lithography. I have just finished a book of the life and works of Eric Gill. He was one of the first graphic designers to use stone lithography to create a new medium for typography and the expression of personal and religious views, all of which intertwined with his ideology and aesthetic approach to art and science. I would urge anyone to dabble in lithography prints, as it is a great way to discover new mark making techniques. Check it out! Have fun. :-)
