Adshel competition winner creates poster to discourage vandalism
A Melbourne design student has won an Adshel competition where entrants were asked to create a poster that discourages vandalism.
The announcement:
A striking poster by Melbourne design student Olivia Vines has been chosen as the winner of the Adshel Anti-Vandalism Challenge and hits the streets in bus shelters nationally from today.
The competition, launched in January, called on design students across the country to create a poster campaign discouraging vandalism among 14- to 25-year-olds.
This morning I saw this poster (at the tram stop) with a cartoon face scribbled over the hood. I do not endorse vandalism, but did have a giggle. Sadly a headline implying ‘don’t vandal’ is like a red rag to a ball. No discredit to the artist.
Shouldn’t it say “Don’t turn your back on vandalism”?
