Title: Call for illustrations
Post by: ErickN on March 09, 2011, 11:19
A friend of mine works as a benevolent for a NGO, and she currently works on a flyer to explain (and fight against) torture. She needs a few pictograms to illustrate the following four concepts :

1. Violence : Acute pain, with injury, blood, shouts
2. Intimidation / forced confession : To threat, to fright or to hurt in order to get information
3. Arbitrary detention : Arrest without ground and without a judicial decision to maintain the detention
4. Lack of care in prison : No medicine, no visit of a doctor

They need to be plain, explicit and easy to understand pictograms, rather than detailed illustrations, as they will be about 1.5" x 1.5" thumbnails on the flyer. For the same reason, they don't have to be vectors, bitmaps are ok too.

I already made a few searches, but those are very specific concepts. So if you have some pictures in your portfolio that could illustrate those concepts, feel free to link to them in this thread or send me a PM.

Note that this is not a call for free stuff. Although the NGO she works with doesn't have a huge budget, they can afford a few microstock images.

Please also note that this is not a call for discussion about torture, NGO's, or politics either.

Thanks in advance for your help !
Erick

A lot of the microstock sites have a place for you to ask for content, maybe that would be a good place to start. http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_threads.php?forumid=75&page=1 (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_threads.php?forumid=75&page=1)  This is the place at IStock.

Thanks for the link and suggestion, Traveler. I didn't know that, as I almost never read the agencies forums.
