GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS POSTER

My intention was to show the important of ending gun violence. The red, black, and white color combinations gives off a striking message. In my personal opinions, guns should stay in a shooting range, not on the streets. In recent years, we've had an increased amount of gun violence in the United States. Children, adults, innocent bystanders, educators, and etc. have been killed from these guns. The striking red on the poster represents the volatile behavior guns can create. The poster eventually goes down to innocent silhouette of children in a more mellow, yet contrasting environment. I am a strong opposer of gun violence and it should not be the deciding fate for people on the bullet end. 

Awareness Poster Prelim sketch

The preliminary sketch looks very simple. I would make the target sign bigger to increase its significance. But I would stick to the red, white, and black color theme for this particular awareness because it fits. Gun violence is an increasing crime in our country and a gun should not be the fate of so many others.
