Abstract:
Color postcard featuring a superhero like character called Condoman, who is of Indigenous appearance, and wearing a red, yellow and black (colors of the Aborgiinal flag) body suit with a large 'C' on the chest. The postcard shows him standing in front of a stylized beachfront setting, with a packet of condoms in his right hand. In a comic style white speech bubble is the message “Don’t be shame, be game!” The Redback Graphix logo depicting a redback spider in a triangle shape appears at the lower left corner. Condoman was a culturally-based campaign developed to address sexual health and the prevention of HIV/AIDS within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
