look, pink ribbons. Every cancer seems to have its own color ribbon and ever disease that is unbeknown to man has its own color ribbon. Sometimes, the thought occurs to me that sometimes it raises more of a fashion statement then awareness. The ribbon I would like to discuss today is the pink one. I think it’s safe to say that everyone already knows what type of cancer the pink one represents; breast cancer. The intent of this literature is to peel back the layers of fads and pretty pink ribbons

Breast Cancer Action (BCA) coined the term pink washing as part of their Think Before You Pink® campaign. According to BCA a pink washer is a company or organization that claims to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products that are linked to the disease.

This design decision helps to remove any indexes except the global symbol of breast cancer, and colour pink. Connecting to the arts and crafts movement, the design is simplistic; enough detail to intrigue but not so much that the mind is confused, which further compounds the symbol of breast cancer to the audience.

lettered sayings plastered all over it. Things like “cancer isn’t about living and dying, it’s about living until I die” and “fight like a girl.” The sayings didn’t mean anything to me, and neither did the purse. The only thing cute about it was the pink ribbon in the corner, but that wasn’t enough for me to flaunt it around everywhere. Cancer to me was a death sentence.

A. S. Byatt’s story “The Pink Ribbon” is a story about change in a marriage as a result of a traumatic experience, as well as how the struggle between duty and love manifests themselves. In this story, a man doing what he thinks is his duty becomes overwhelmed with feelings of anger, fear, and resentment after his transition from spouse to caretaker.
