Pop Art- PSA portrait plus a secret video

Using a current event, we will choose an individual to build a public service announcement around.  You were to have brought in three articles that are current events, from these, choose one to focus on.  With the presidential election coming up there are many stories in the headlines that could be used. (Clinton and email could be a theme)
The objective is to build on our last project by continuing to explore the marriage of words and pictures by creating an image accompanied by text to clearly communicate a public service announcement.  See examples below:

Begin by sketching and writing concepts which we will critique.  Your final piece will be 11 x 17 oriented any way you choose in full color.  You can choose to work in acrylic, watercolor, gouache or any combination and include colored pencil if necessary.
Choose your font deliberately as it should enhance the image.

You will be graded on:
effective use of color (refer to color information posted on white board)
effective communication of message
craftsmanship of both image and text
effective use of class time

Have fun!
