"I
came up with a design using basic Photoshop techniques in an attempt
to get police in the met to join the trident unit. My main intention
for my poster was to have a sense of unity and cohesion." See

"My concept was to play off of the old world war recruitment poster,
being personal and making the reader involved with a modern twist.
I didn't want my poster to be overworked so I kept it simple and to
the point." See a larger

"The main eye catcher for my poster is the word prevent which fits
in to the slogan expand to prevent, prevent to reduce, saying expanding
the amount of recruits, helps reduce the problem. I gave my poster
has a simple layout so the message is clear in white on a black background
with prevent in red to stand out, I also used the T from the trident
logo in the slogan to advertise the logo to people." See

"In my poster I tried to focus on using one image, and a very short
message so that would make police force think rather than just look
at a colourful poster. I purposely didn't add any positive pictures
because I knew that Trident's work isn't just an office job. However,
this was pointed out it could be offensive to officers, but I needed
to get the message across." See

"Join trident and dry these tears, her sons been killed and she's
living in fear, streets are dangerous and guns are tucked near the
groin, so much can be prevented if you choose to join.' This image
was created to inspire the police officers to join a force that's
aim is to clear the streets of gun crime and make London a safer place
for the whole community. This image was also aimed for black officers
in particular and I thought the image of a black mum would capture
or jerk an emotion out of my set audience as its more relevant and
easily recognisable." See

"I used this strap line as it gives a vibe that will encourage officers
of the police force black or white to join Trident. I wanted the strap
line to reach out to an open audience to tell them that there are
a variety of jobs available in Trident with the key words "opening
doors". I think with the use of the door I feel that it is a symbol
of furthering their career also using a white and black piece and
symbolic objects so that there isn't so much to take in and process.
Choosing this will not be stopping their goals and ambitions but strengthening
them and progressing to a higher future." See

"The brief handed to us by the trident team told us to concentrate
on bringing black males and females to the team. To make this happen
I tried to make an image by finding approprate photos. I created a
thumbprint with a pad lock around it. The slogan on the top was "make
a mark join Trident". And the trident logo at the bottom of the image.
This should try to help the community's understand." See

"I designed a poster that was shortlisted to be used as the internal
recruitment campaign for Trident, the police armed response team dealing
with gun crime in the black community. I used the strap line "if you're
in, communities win!" I thought a catchy strap line would be memorable.
A picture of a black mother and her children was used to illustrate
the fact that these would be the people being protected if they would
enlist. A man wasn't included as it was targeted towards black male
officers. The faces of the people are smiling also indicating a feeling
of safety. I used silhouettes of a crowd of people to fill half of
the background to show a community and with the top half of the poster
I put the strap line and the Trident logo. The overall colour of the
design was a bold black and white, which gave a striking and eye catching
impression." See a larger

"In
my image I concentrated on the idea of bridging the gaps between communities
and the police. Through simplicity with geometric shapes and abstract
styling, I believe simple sticks. Circling around the idea that members
of a community will misunderstand and misconceive the efforts and
bravery shown by the police to make their communities a safer place
to live. This in turn will be an opportunity for police to understand
the communities they protect." See

"When trying to encourage existing members of the police force into
joining the anti gun campaign the focus was on positively inspiring
potential officers to think how they can effect their community and
change lives by specializing in the anti gun sector. Simple colouring
and motif with a strong message help portray the national idea of
peace within our community and encourage change within individuals
and forging strong teams." See
