The concept
The concept
“DON’T” explores the psychological pressure created when adults — parents, teachers, and authority figures — underestimate and distrust children.
The project focuses on how constant restrictions and negative commands shape a child’s perception of themselves and their environment.
Rather than addressing the issue directly, the concept translates emotional pressure into a visual language.

The Expression
The Expression
The poster visualizes this pressure through an enclosing and repetitive composition.
Organic black forms surround a central figure, symbolizing overwhelming external voices. The repeated “don’t” phrases create a sense of restriction, control, and mental noise.
The contrast between the bright yellow background and the dark enclosing elements reinforces the tension between innocence and pressure.
The progression from sketch to final design reflects the gradual intensification of this emotional state.
