With the brief of creating campaign material of A4 size on an issue we felt passionately about, I chose to look at an already running campaign called 'Still Human, Still Here' which aims to change the way refused asylum seekers are treated once their application is over. After reading stories and a lot of information on the subject of destitution for asylum seekers I chose to portray a sense of losing your humanity, subjects that still resemble the figure but that are becoming unrecognisable as people - a reflection of the treatment and consequential emotional impact on asylum seekers who are told to leave the country, but have no choice but to stay. More information on what being refused refuge intails, http://stillhumanstillhere.wordpress.com/ has a lot of resourses. Particular interest should be paid to Amnesty Internationals 'Down and Out in London. The road to destitution for reected asylum seekers'.
