Say no to drugs PSA poster

My topic was about don't do drugs

I learned there are so many other health problems you will get besides cancer by smoking cigerattes.

The interesting fact i used from the website heart.org is that you are a higer risk of a stroke because smoking temporarily increases blood pressure, also increases cholesterol build-ups, the tendency for blood to clot, both types of strokes are more likely for a person who smokes. There are strokes caused from bleeding because of a weakened blood vessel and strokes caused by blockages and clots that form in a vessel and cut off blood flow to the brain. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and adult disability in America.
My rough sketches and ideas are here.

My finished PSA informs and educates the viewers by showing how much harm smoking will do to you.

Color Psychology

In the Color Psychology, the article, the author states the "Psychological Effects of Cool Colors.
Purple uses red and blue to provide a nice balance between stimulation and serenity that encourages creativity. If you what something peaceful and calming you would go with using green or blue or both. Blue is a calming  and serene color and they say it decreases respiration and lowers blood pressure so the best room to have this color in is your bedroom. The aricle reference can be found here: Color Psychology: The Emotional Effects of Color.

The swatches that are popular for energy bar advertisements are brown and blue tones. Brown is a popular choice because it's the color of chocolate, a common bar flavor, and in associated with nature and health. Blue is also associated with health, cleanliness and serenity, which appeals to lifestyle choices that energy bar users might make.

Fair Use. What is it? A Fair Use is where you do any copying of something that is copyrighted and it not be illegal. There are  two ways to use it, by commenting/critizing or a parody. For example the line "One day you screaming you love me loud, next day you're so cold" from the song Holy Grail from Jayz and Justin Timberlake shows that girls can't seem to make up their minds.

The situation with Shepard Fairey was he used a picture of Obama to make posters to sale. The courts didn't see it as a Fair Use because he lied when he said he used a picture from AP Press that they had taken of Obama and Clooney when instead he used a current picture and destroyed the evidence. He was found quilty and had to pay a fine of $25,000.
