Hi Juska:
I really enjoy seeing your post. An essential tenet of every democracy is respect for individual liberties. Rights that are fundamental are another name for rights enjoyed by humans. As an example, those liberties guarantee all individuals the right to freely speech. Everyone can openly express their religious or philosophical views.
Everyone has the right to live their lives the way makes them happy.
Hi Cristina! I almost chose Article 16 and did something very similar. I was sort of irked by the wording of Article 16 and wanted to draw attention to it, like you did. But then I found this: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2018/11/universal-declaration-human-rights-70-30-articles-30-articles-article-16. I feel heartened by this, and less irritated by the wording of Article 16. As far as the aesthetic, I really like the somewhat transparent section of this image that has the words in it. The asymmetrical nature of the block looks interesting in the image. The fonts look good. They are not too similar. They are somewhat serious, but the roundness of the smaller font gives me hopeful vibes. I like that your title matches the flowers in the background, though I think I would have made it a slightly darker or deeper color. I love the image and the message. Good work!
