Description A public service announcement I did for my graphics class. We had to choose an ailment/disease, and an organization associated with it; I chose depression and To Write Love on Her Arms.

This is the second of two designs that would be used as posters. I personally like this one the most out of the two.

Again, not sure if it's in the right category...

It amazes me that people can write off depression as a minor thing.

I myself don't suffer from it, but I can only barely imagine what pain it must cause.

I totally agree. While there are varying degrees and specifics to depression (some less potent than others), there are still very serious afflictions out there. I personally don't suffer from it either, but there are people close to me that have/are.

It's a sad thing to have to sit by when a friend is going through something like that.

I appreciate the fave though! Always nice to get support on works. If you hadn't seen it, this is actually the second of a two part PSA campaign. You can find the other here: [link]

I agree with that completely - and people who don't suffer from it have to listen out to those who do!

And no problem! Unfortunately the link doesnt work... :/

Thank you so much. I'm glad it had an affect on you. I personally don't have depression, but as times goes on I learn just how important the concept in this poster is to life in general.

'You should be proud of this'. Very kind words, and I really appreciate them. It's comments like that that do make me proud of it.

You should also know that it's in a two-piece series! This is my personal favorite of the two, but you can have a look at the other one here [link] if you so like.

Thanks for the favorite too friend.

This reminds me of the drug awareness posters I see around. Very simple but gets it's message across clearly. Great work.

I went and checked out the website on your poster. I'd never heard of the organization before but I like what I've seen so far and I'm totally gonna check more out. I think it might help me, support from someone other than some old therapist.

Fantastic! I guess the poster did its job!

It is an amazing organization. I personally have a friend who was touched by it (and I was too). It's all about loving people. How incredible is that?

Thanks for supporting me (and consequently TWLOHA) by adding my PSAs to your favorites! I greatly appreciate it.

I realy like this, it gets the message across, quite well.

I know that there are treatments available, i was on Fluoxetine for about a year and a half; but it made me feel like, well that i couldn't feel anything besides anger (and that was muted) actualy. I stopped taking it after that.

Thanks, I'm personally proud of it (thanks for the fav too!).

I hope things get better for you. I mean, everything conveyed in the PSA is true; there is help out there and you are not alone. You should check out [link] . It's a great site.
