Brief 4 and 5 - Message Delivery: Chernobyl Photograph

Many photos were taken of Chernobyl and the damaging after affects that came with it. Some truly distressing images are shown of not only the disaster but the affect of children born with radiation poisoning.

No use of legs - they rely on their arms to pull them around.

These photos may work well with Brief 5 because they are powerful enough by themselves. They don't need text to explain them, the fact they are in a grey scale makes it more grim and powerful as an image. It will be interesting to look into campaigns and see how they have used simple images to raise awareness.
