WOMEN: PUBLIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION SA INC

(Public Service Association Women’s Committee)

Artist: Pamela Harris

Funded by: All Our Working Lives Project

Produced: 1985

This old banner style contrasts so sharply with the styles that belong to the world of advertising as we currently know it…The banner is a public form of communication, like a poster or a mural. It has its own publicly understood communication conventions and these will vary according to time and place.

The Public Service Association of SA women’s banner has been designed to celebrate the Centenary of the Union and the victories won by women and to publicly declare a positive position held by the women membership...

It has been a valuable experience for all those involved and hopefully the banner will serve the Union membership well.  Pamela Harris
