Proposed solution - Ambient Media-

       Regarding the info in the previous post, something had to be done to open the eyes of parents in keep in their child in safe security. Hence, I have proposed some ways to remind parents -mothers especially- to always keep their child at sight and to also remind them of the missing child case can happen to anyone.

My first idea is to recreate a missing child poster on the mirror for kids in the toilet, which on the section where the missing child is attached, that will be the mirror. Hence, when a child is washing their hands, the mirror will be replaced with the child's reflection and it will look as if the child is the missing kid. It is something that to remind parents that they wouldn't want their child's turn in that poster.

Example of a missing child poster

A simple sketch to get the idea imaginable - The whole piece is the mirror itself and the poster can be like a sticker (printed media)

Second idea is to give out the message using the door of the family toilet. There will have a scary looking man giving out something. From the parents point of view, the man will be holding onto a knife, like threatening them. Otherwise, from the children point of view, it will seems like the guy is giving out lollipop / candy. A slight message for the parent to teach their child not to trust strangers.

Inspiration from:

A lenticular printing ad created by ANAR foundation that gives different messages to different audience. In a certain angle, people will see the normal side of the child. However in a lower angle, the people -mostly kids- will see the bruised boy.

The rough side view and the different images depending on the angle looking it from.

*Both ideas are accepted*

Missing Child Awareness

    The topic of awareness I have chosen is missing children. Children have been missing a lot recently, especially when the parents are not supervising them. In the recent missing child case that was uproar when a two year old toddler, Siti Sofea Emelda was found beheaded two days later near by the Sungai Klang in last May. The mother wasn't by her side when the little toddler was kidnapped by a dark skinned foreigner.

In another cases, the one which is most published and probably everyone remembers is the case of Nurin Jazlin. The girl was reported missing on 20 August 2007 when she was on her way to the night market near her house in Wangsa Maju. A month later, she was then found, stuffed into a new sport bag in a fetal position, naked. She was sexually abused and cruelest of all, her genitals were stuffed with brinjal and cucumber which caused her abdomen to rupture.

There are also many other cases involving child gone missing. Hence I think this is a suitable awareness to be alert to all Malaysian so that the parents will keep their children supervised.
