NIKE ΜΙΚΕ The cartoon was drawn by an unknown artists and it was published on September 1997. It deals with global player companies and their working conditions I'll be starting by describing the cartoon. At the bottom one can see a table with shoes on it. There are three girls sitting behind the table, all of them have black hair and a piece of tape over their mouths with a nike logo on it. The girls are workin on shoes and all of the look very tired. One of the girl is working on a mashine and is looking annoyed directly at the 'camera'. In the background you can see another girl working with a mashine. On the wall behind the workers is a big, bright yellow poster with big red letters on it that says "Just Dolt!" and a picture of a basketball player. Let me move on by analyzing this cartoon. The cartoon represents the global player company "Nike". The girls look young which shows the issue with child labour. Children have to work. under bad conditions for very low wages to be able to support their families. They probably stoped going to school to work. They most likely work Overtime as well. In my opinion this cartoon is successful in presenting one of the many problems of fast fashion and global player companies because it shows what exactly is going on behind the scenes and how the products basis are being made. we use on daily All in all it catches ones eye with the bright colours and it sends the message quite well.
