Suicide Tree, by Jake Smith, of Skylimit Design Studio (to view a larger image, click the photo)
"the idea behind my two pieces of work is how bullying can cause suicide. All these hateful things, shown in the form of typography, come together and dreadfully help a person to kill themselves, The 'Fist Of Abuse' is to show how physical abuse can harm you, and the 'Suicide Tree' shows how verbal abuse can grow and grow unitl it is strong enough for someone to hang themself from one of its branches... It is a form of shock advertisement, to try and wake people up to what is going on in the world, and how the dangers of bullying can cause people to harm them selves"
