For my social awareness poster project I decided to promote the global warming awareness cause. At first I was going to promote recycling by showing pictures of animals that were being affected by the lack of recycling around the world. However it began to be hard to see the clear connection automatically between recycling and the endangered animals when you looked at the poster without an explanation. So, I decided to switch to global warming awareness because it is a big issue that is controversial and therefore would get people's attention. I chose pictures of endangered animals as the background to my message to show people who was being affected negatively. I decided to use mostly babies in the pictures because I thought the innocence of the babies would appeal to more people. I chose to make the letters gray and put a light glow around the words to make the words look softer and blend better with the pictures.
I found my pictures using Google Images and searching endangered animals first, and then specifying certain animals, like penguins and seals. These are the original images I used:
