Kidnapped from Israel

Kidnapped from Israel was created by Israeli artists Nitzan Mintz, Dede Bandaid and Tal Huber, Creative designer and owner of the branding company Giraff.

[2] Several days after the initial attack, Mintz, Bandaid, and Israel-based graphic designers Tal Huber[2] created the posters as downloadable digital files.

[3] According to Bandaid, the artists were inspired by the images of missing persons on milk cartons from the 1980s and chose the colors and fonts for the fliers to resemble them.

[4] According to Tim Zick of William & Mary Law School, regulations about the posting of the fliers were generally made by local governments and individual college campuses.

[5] After the success of the campaign, Mintz and Bandaid withdrew from the residency in New York City to focus on the project and the media attention.
