Final Public Service Poster

Public Service Announcement Poster

My public service announcement poster is about how so many people lose or abandon their dogs. I wanted to make a poster that to make people aware of it and so they know that dogs are a huge responsibility. I wanted to evoke a sadness through the poster, so I decided to have a grunge style to my poster. The following websites are where I got my textures, dog watercolor, and dog house plans:

My main title letters I did myself with a sharpie marker. I took a photo of a piece of cardboard that my dog and I destructed and tore! This was used for my "homeless dog sign". I added a chain link fence and plans for a dog house for more texture and to evoke that there is a responsibility to keeping a dog whether it be a fence to have a dog house for them. The dog tag I had made at Petco and I put Lucky on it to show that some dogs aren't so lucky. I scanned this in and changed the color to a color that suited the poster. My dog is a watercolor picture I found on the internet.

It is your RESPONSIBILITY to take care of your dog and not to leave behind your dog. If you can't handle a dog don't get one or take it to an animal shelter, don't leave it to fend for itself.
