| Story | For over a century, gun violence has been a deadly issue in the USA. One of the reasons is a loophole in the law that allows people in certain states to acquire handguns without any background checks. The ICHV - an organization that has been fighting gun violence across America for over 40 years - needed to create a campaign, with a small budget, that could gather support for Universal Background checks. Introducing The Gun Violence History Book. A symbol, and an educational tool, made out of articles, facts, and data that showcases history that repeats itself. A book so thick, without bulletproof technology, it did what history has been unable to do. Stop a bullet. A design system chronicled the articles from 1791 until 2019, as well as around 200 hero pages that used only typography and imagery from newspaper articles split in 19 chapters to help people better understand the problem. After binding it, the book was shot with a 45mm - the most common gun used in street violence- adding another design element, and where the bullet stopped, a message was placed.

| AI Description | The ad features a unique and powerful book titled 'The Gun Violence History Book'. Visually striking, it showcases over 200 years of gun violence history in America. With its minimalist design, the book has been shot with a .45 caliber bullet, the most common firearm in street violence, which serves as a poignant symbol. Internally, it contains newspaper articles and typographic designs spread across 19 chapters. Each page is dedicated to significant events with an overarching message of calling for universal background checks. The ad highlights this book as both an educational tool and a stark reminder of the persistent issue of gun violence. The imagery emphasizes its thickness and its ability to physically stop a bullet, metaphorically suggesting the potential to halt further violence through education and policy change. The inclusion of real-life events, such as the assassination of JFK, further grounds the campaign in historical context. |
