Conserve Water Project

Conserve Water!

I started the poster by searching up the details and facts about fresh water. It is always good to know what you are designing for and information is definitely the key to success. Here is what my research came down to.

Why is it a cause for concern?
Community Solutions:
  • Promote water conservation in community newsletters, on bulletin boards and by example. Encourage your friends, neighbors and co-workers to "do their part."
  • Fix old sprinkler heads in the community.
  • Go to schools in the area to promote water conservation
Family Solutions:
  • Don’t soak your lawn every day. Try to water your lawn every other day.
  • Instead of spraying down the garage, use a large broom to sweep it up.
  • When waiting for your shower to be warm, put a bucket under it and use that water to water plants in your backyard.


Why YOU should care:
  • less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people
  • When we reduce our water consumption, we protect the environment from contamination and support ecosystem health.
  • Clean, uncontaminated water is essential for human health.

Afterward was sketching. I made a few sketches, but this was what I decided to go with.

I then took this photo and used Illustrator to do the poster. I made the graphics in Illustrator and then added text. Finished project:
