For this public service announcement project, my group chose the national debt as the topic. National debt is a serious problem; many people are unaware it because they believe that the national debt does not effect them. However, the national debt will hurt the next generation. The picture shows the model, Ms. Poe, squeezing a $100 bill as if she is trying the get the most out of it. The $100 bill may seem like a lot but there is a possibility will be worthless after the enormous amount of taxes that goes into repaying the debt. Social Security tax, for example, must raise to satisfy the Baby Boomer generation going into retirement. I included the link to the National Debt Clock that shows the always growing national debt in real time. I believe that this picture brings a high amount of awareness to the audience; therefore, I chose to leave it horizontally long so it will fit on two pages in a magazine. Overall, I think this project is successful because I utilized the golden rule to emphasize the money, drawing the viewer's attention directly toward the main subject of the picture. Additionally, the lettering at the bottom right fits the curves of the hand nicely which creates a nice flow.
