Social justice posters are intended to motivate, persuade, and educate people on political or social issues. These three images are all great examples of social justice posters.
The first image's purpose is likely to persuade men to stop objectifying women. This poster utilizes typography in order to get the point across. The words "not" and "arm candy" are bolded to emphasize the message. I also think the illustration and overall design are very well put together. The image of the woman's head on top of a lollipop stick ties directly back to the quote at the top of the poster.
 * "We Are Not Your Arm Candy."**

The second image's purpose has to do with the recent controversy over gun control. This poster utilizes typography in order to grab the viewer's intentions. The bright white text really pops out on the bold red background. The illustration of the gun with the outline of the U.S. inside the trigger clearly goes well with the social justice topic.
 * "You Don't Need a Gun to Feel Powerful."**

The third image's purpose is to raise awareness for LGBT youth suicide. It's intended to motivate members of the LGBT community to stand together and look after each other, when we live in such a cruel and judgmental world. The smaller typography is somewhat harder to read, but ultimately I think the creator did a great job with the layout and poster design. I specifically enjoy the use of the rainbow flag in the background, as well as the illustration of the anchor which ties back to the message, "Don't sink! Swim together."
