Save Water PSA Poster

My Topic was about Saving water to help and save the planet one drop at a time.If everyone can do their part we can all help out and do our part and hopefully help to save our world.

I learned many facts about saving water and how simple it is to do our part.There are so many ways we can conserve water on a daily basis,such as turning off the faucet when brushing our teeth.Just by doing that little act we can help so much.

The interesting facts I used from the website http://www.epa.gov/region1/eco/drinkwater/water_conservation_residents.html were simple acts that can help and make a difference such as,take showers instead of baths,and inserting faucet aerators.There are also household machines such as washers that were made to help and conserve water with different settings.

My rough sketches  and ideas are here.

My finished PSA informs and educates the viewer by helping to persuade the audience to do their part and help to save water on a daily basis and how simple it is.

Dream Destination Getaway

   Hawaii is a dream destination for me because I think it is a very beautiful place from what I saw in pictures from my family and the internet.I would love to relax on the beaches and enjoy the serene peaceful waves.My family has traveled to Hawaii when I was younger and they enjoyed the islands very much and recommended me to visit.
       
     The official website for more information on this location can be found http://www.gohawaii.com. If you need information on the islands or travel information you can find an abundant amount of facts and pictures. This website is very helpful because if you have any questions or need a few pictures on the beautiful islands of Hawaii here is a perfect place to look for guidance.
 
     I imagine visiting this location and my experiences being like the image I illustrated below with me doing fun activities and taking on new adventures.
