Don't Text and Drive PSA Poster

My topic was about "Don't Text and Drive". I chose this topic because i felt it is a main factor in society that causes accidents. If prevented, it can save hundreds of innocent lives. Texting and driving is common among young adults and teens.

I learned that putting your cell phone away can save lives. Twenty-three percent of car accidents are caused by texting and driving. Thirty-four percent of teens say that they text and drive. There are 10 states that have prohibit cell phone usage while driving. Texting and driving makes you six times more likely to crash than driving while intoxicated.

The interesting facts i used from the website textinganddrivingsafety.com and was "there are over 1,600,000 accidents and 330,000 injuries per year caused by texting and driving".

My rough sketches and ideas.

My finished PSA informs and educates the viewer by showing them a dark but conveying message to not text and drive. Texting and driving is a dangerous and is life risking, not just for the driver but the passengers and pedestrians. It causes many problems such as the possibility of orphaning a child, and ruining lives of the people involved in the accident. Texting and driving is dangerous and just plain dumb.
