PLACARD

Topic Ideas:Insurance:Goes down/Robs Pocket/Loans/Higher than valuables/Government hand bigger than civilian

Poverty:Food&Wealth/Drop of water with Indian children surround-

ing it/Tap left running

Drugs:’I am made of Mari-juana’ pot monster/ Hidden drugs/Passive smoking/Kills kids/Affects relationships

Chosen Topic: Drugs.After choosing my idea, I hand drew several potential designs

and chose one to work on. I experimented with a play on words trying to get the mes-sage across to a wide range audience. The message being that people should not smoke Marijuana around children as it is passive smoking and can influence them to smoke the drug themself thus affect-

ing their health one way or another. I tested whether the message is clear enough by asking 3 members of my family to tell me what they thought of the placard and each one managed to figure out the message making me successful in communicating the message chosen clearly.
