In Design, we reflected upon real world issues that we face and were tasked with creating a PSA (Public Service Announcement) that would be printed out as a poster. Issues ranged from drunk driving, to mental health, to reducing use of plastic straws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where all design projects start after brainstorming. Laid out with a color scheme and other images related to the project as inspiration. In this case, other drunk driving PSAs. This serves as a place we can go back to for reference as well as being able to get a good sense of what the color scheme would look like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here we are…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the Mood Board we turned out ideals into a final product. A month or two before we started brainstorming for this project, news had come out about a Mother and her 14yr old son. They were killed in a head-on collision involving a wrong-way driver who was drunk. This hit hard for me as it occurred on a segment of highway I frequently drive. This PSA was inspired by my emotions and thoughts surrounding the collision. Hence, the dark and moody color scheme and theme. <\/p>\n<\/div>

How did we do it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This piece was done using Adobe Illustrator. We used the pen tool and layers…many, many layers. The truck alone has 11 layers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This unit in Design taught me many things, both technically and about myself and how I work with creative projects. Thought out the unit, and working on the Design project, I learned to value when to mark something as complete. When working on the PSA project, I had a lot of trouble with deciding when to just call the PSA complete. I kept feeling like it wasn’t enough or stuff was missing when in reality it was just fine. I also learned to how valuable having a color scheme is and how to value having one available when working on future pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
