[ Help is Always Here. ]

Within this PSA for Give an Hour, a non-profit organization, PTSD and its manipulation of thoughts and emotions are visually expressed through grunge, David Carson-esque typographic treatment and motion.

[ What Do They Do? ]

Give an Hour seeks, " to develop national networks of volunteers capable of responding to both acute and chronic conditions that arise within our society." They provide a platform for those who need it most, allowing individuals to begin the journey of healing when they feel most comfortable to start.

[ Challenge ]

Talking about PTSD requires care and delicacy because, for some, it's a reality they live with. As a result, a PSA targeting these individuals needs to be empathetic; ultimately, showing that they aren't alone in the fight

[ Solution ]

The PSA focuses on the daily inner battle with emotions and internal dialogue being center stage. Using a David Carson inspired grunge style, the darkest thoughts triggered by PTSD are symbolically represented. In contrast, a minimalist approach is taken for the logical side that argues against the darkness. 

​

The end goal was to show others that the issues they deal with don't have to be hard-fought by themselves. Help is only a call or click away and is always available when needed most.
