Awareness Poster - Part I

For this assignment, Awareness Poster, I have chosen to focus on the health issues related to the usage of the Roundup Weed Killer products. Recent research confirms a correlation between the usage of these chemicals and various types of cancers. There are hundreds of lawsuits making their way into the court system. I think there needs to be a heavier awareness around the usage of these products and the potential (and confirmed) serious harm that they can cause. I am still fleshing out all the details but will be creating a poster that clearly depicts the product in question, and the resulting circumstances, a cancer diagnosis leading to death. I am going to try to merge a couple of different pictures together that gives the message “Roundup, killing weeds since 1974” and then I will cross through “weeds” and change it to “people”. I will use a font that looks like a horror movie to make the point clear. The images I have for use are below.
