Title: Dinner
Format: Poster series
Art Director/Designer: Sandra Scher
Client: FARM
Country: USA
Year: 2003

The harsh images of factory farming are difficult to bear. The animals rights organisation FARM wanted to convince people not to eat meat by illustrating the cruel realities of factory farming with images of dead animals taking the place of a dinner plate. The silverware is arranged in a place setting to amplify the consequences of one's seemingly inconsequential choice.

Road signs are frequently used as a reference in protest, perhaps because the goal of the design is clear and immediate communication, and they are universally understood.
