Don't Text and Drive PSA Poster

   My topic was about not texting and driving. I learned that texting and driving can not only distract a driver, but it can also risk the chance of someone being injured, or even dying. Getting into an accident while texting and driving can happen to anyone, even those who believe it cannot happen to them. Looking at other people's stories, I have also learned that no text message is worth risking your life or another's life.
    The interesting facts I learned from this website was that those who text and drive are 23 times more likely to have a car crash. I also learned that texting while driving is one of the top causes of death among teenagers in America; more than 3,000 teens die annually due to texting while driving. Texting while driving is still above drinking and driving among teens on the list of the top causes of death because the fact is, most teenagers are not drinking 24/7, but they are on their phones constantly, even when driving.
   My rough sketches and ideas are here.

   My finished PSA informs and educates the viewer by attempting to make viewers realize that accidents caused by texting and driving can happen to anyone, even the viewers themselves. The PSA also offers viewers a view of a phone with text messages before an accident occurred due to texting and driving. The driver's text back states "I'm fine. Don't worry," but the text was never delivered because the driver gets into an accident.
