Visual Advocacy Reflection

As for my project I think it turned out well, my cartoon was slightly condenced as a result from the scanning process. However, it gets the point across. My cartoon was drawn in 4 pages including several cells per page. Also, the cartoon doesn't tell the whole story, so I used my paper to fill in the missing blanks. My cartoon tied in view points from statistics, real life stories, and the media, as it portays teens destructive decisions. I feel that it all falls into place.

Visual Advocacy Project

Ive chosen the topic I call, " The destruction of our Youth". what i mean by that is, showing how far is to far? I want to show how our teens continue to binge drink and show a life of destructive behavior even though they know the dangers, also the abuse of sex and drugs. Everything we do has a ripple effect on our lives down the road. Ive chosen to do a short comic strip. Its one i've been working on for awhile but conveys a little of what im talking about. The comic is not completly done but it gets the point across.

What I hope to accomplish with this assignment: I want to show my love for art, my personal thoughts and insights in hopes someone shows that same intrest.

My arugument: "how far is to far" and I'll show this with statistics ( Binge drinking, rapes, std's, Drug use), real personal stories, as well as the new show "Busted" on MTV.
