Poster

• I had wanted to revisit the poster assignment from Chapter 2, this time centering the theme around the idea of promoting “The Butterfly Project”.

• “The Butterfly Project” was created as an option for self-harmers who are ready to stop and need the motivation and support to do so. I wanted to make something promoting the concept for people who want to take part.

• The project itself centers around a simple set of guidelines.

• Whenever someone feels the need to cut, they draw a butterfly over the spot where the self-harm occurs. They are encouraged to name the butterfly after a loved one and they aren’t allowed to scrub the butterfly off once it is on their arm.

• Another person may draw their own butterfly them.• If the butterfly fades naturally without them cutting it

lives, if they cut before it fades, it dies.• If they have multiple butterflies on their arm and

they self-harm, all of them die.
