Everyone Deserves a Home

 

We made it. This poster took me hours, as expected, and I probably could have worked for hours more if I didn't stop myself.

I'm pretty proud of what I was able to do my first time using Adobe Illustrator, but definitely need hours of more practice to get good at it. I'm sure there are easier ways to do some of the things I did and I probably over-complicated things like crazy, but that's all part of the learning experience.

The more I added the more unmanageable it got, since I don't know all of the best ways to organize layers and to make sure I wasn't messing with something while working on something else.

I did really enjoy this program and plan to practice with it more so it can be a skill I actually have.  

I just hope that I did a good enough job to properly tell the story I was trying to. No one should have to live in a tent under an overpass. No one should have to worry about where they'll get their next meal. In this country, so many houses and buildings sit empty, so much food gets wasted, yet so many people are experiencing homelessness. 

I know this poster will not solve such a complex and intense problem, but hopefully it can make some people think. You never know what could happen or where you could end up, and if you ended up in a rough period, would you want people to look the other way when they see you're in need?
