Overview
This poster was published by the Wellington Community Law Centre to help young people understand certain age restrictions and possibilities, for example drinking alcohol, sex, driving, breaking the law, getting married, voting, going on the dole, etc.
The designer Sharon Murdoch has taken a graphic comic approach to make the legal information approachable and accessible for young people.
It was printed by Wellington Media Collective (1978-98), a group of graphic artists and designers who worked in association with organisations to develop high quality posters for various social causes, events and activities.
