Consent(ual) Holiday Cards
#ConsentComesFirst
Project Description:
Created for Ryerson University's Office of Sexual Violence Support and Education (OSVSE)'s social media accounts to help promote #ConsentComesFirst. These cards cover most of the holidays from Fall 2016 to Summer 2017 and are used to help serve as a reminder about consent. Regardless of the situation, consent is a serious topic, however puns were used to keep the theme light and easy to remember how a situation can become uncomfortable.
