Armenia: Creative Poverty Posters

Always nice to have your work noticed, so happy to see that Smashing Apps was encouraged enough by this year’s Blog Action Day to write a post on creative poverty posters. One of those the blog includes is a photo by yours truly to raise awareness on child poverty in Armenia.

SmashingApps and Poverty posters? I know you are surprised to see this but let me tell you the reason behind this. a few days ago, I got a chance to visit and explore Blog Action Day website and it was really inspiring for me that as a blogger I should help them to spread the word about their mission. I found the way that if I write a post about poverty in a way that my visitors will not get bored as well and I will also get success to convey their message to the millions of visitors coming to SmashingApps.

I really like this statement on Blog Action Day website
“…the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue”

Then I decided to be the part of this campaign. As I told you above that I was searching for the topic that will not make visitors to be bored so I decided to convey Blog Action Day message with the magical images related to poverty. Yes, they are trying to create the awareness about the real problem exists in this world and many of us really do not realize in the way it is.

Here, I listed some collection of images which are posters, photographs, etc and in all of the pictures below you will see the severeness of poverty and how billions of children are effecting with this. It’s a time we should not forget our role and let’s help them or at-least create some awareness from that platform which we have.

I hope at the end of this post you will realize that we live in 2 separate worlds. Spread the word and be a part of this campaign.

The posters I shot and designed for UNICEF are available here, here, here, and here. There’s also the PDF version of a book written, photographed and designed for UNICEF for download in English and Armenian. My own book, Armenia: Poverty, Transition & Democracy is available for download here.
