Project Details
Design a poster.
  1. Choose a social cause. Gather information about it.
  2. Research related topics and find visuals to use as references.
  3. Write a design brief. Define the purpose and function of the poster, the audience, and the information to be communicated.
  4. Design a posters to promote your social cause.
  5. Include web URL so people can join your cause (this can be fictitious).
