When I saw this piece I immediately knew the meaning of it before I read the bold letters at the top. To me, children walking walking around with guns the size of there head is just horrible! This was a design for a controversial issue, what a striking image it is too. The yellow and red pop out and attract your attention, and then in between the two inferior colors is the boy holding a gun that has a yellow glow around it. Not only are these to colors noticable they also are yelling like street signs "hazardous! Stop!" Then way at the top is the word "CONTROVERSY" isolated from the image that is meant to be understood faster than the word is read.

I think the ad or poster is good too. I like the concept, but I didn't immediatly understand that it was supposed to be a child holding the gun, Maybe that was just because the picture was smaller or something... But the design is very good:)
Interesting concept. I think the illustration is great- like that they used only one word.
