Anti-Bullying Love is Louder

The Anti-Jock thing got me thinking more about bullying in schools and bullying specifically to do with sexual orientation.

This Love is Louder campaign caught my attention because of the creative use of typography. This way anyone can show their support. A celebrity photographer Tyler Sheilds has got all these awesome images for the campaign. http://www.tylershields.com/2010/10/14/love-is-louder/

The basic campaign:

"Love is Louder was started by actress Brittany Snow, The Jed Foundation and MTV to build on the outpouring of support online after the lives of multiple teenagers were lost to suicide in September 2010. This movement strives to amplify the momentum of other inspiring online campaigns and invite anyone who has felt mistreated, misunderstood or isolated into the conversation. We are here to raise the volume around a critical message -- that love and support is more powerful than the external and internal voices that bring us down, cause us pain and make us feel hopeless.

The more voices that join the movement, the louder the message becomes. #LoveisLouder."

I found the writing on the bodies a fun refreshing way to experiment with typography.
