Poorly Designed Awareness Campaign Creates Unintended Message

Poorly Designed Awareness Campaign Creates Unintended Message - Funny on Aviaclip

A photograph of a tote bag features a graphic design intended to promote mental health awareness, but the layout leads to an unfortunate misreading. The design uses two speech bubbles: one green with the text 'START A CONVERSATION' and one orange with 'SUICIDE is preventable.' Due to the placement of the words and the overlapping color scheme, the text can be read sequentially as 'START A SUICIDE,' completely subverting the intended message of the campaign. The image highlights how poor typography and layout choices can inadvertently change the meaning of public service messaging.

'Start A Suicide' is definitely an effective way to prevent conversation, but it's something you can do only once. Murder is something you can do many times.
