poster idea

Tax: raising income tax on people who make more than $250,000.

Infastructure: investing in projects to improve roads, ports, and mass transit. It'll create more jobs for unemployed people on street right now, and fix up and upgrade the transportation methods.

International: [against] using military force on N.Korea and Iran to shut down the potentioal nuclear program their developing.

All of these sound good. I'm intrigued by the infastructure idea. I think that topic lends itself to powerful imagery. Opposing military force is dramatic, as well. Out of the three, I would pick 2 or 3, rather than concept 1.

I agree with Helen. The first one is an important issue but it might be too abstract to excite the masses. Also, most protestors are middle and lower class.. I'm afraid you wouldn't have much of an audience (I'd definitely be a design challenge!).

The second two topics immediately trigger powerful imagery and are very relavant but not overplayed topics. Of the second two, I'm more interested in infrastructure. You might want to research posters from the 1930's, during the "New Deal" time period. Lots of infrastructure initiative were enacted by Roosevelt. Here's a link to the New Deal in case you take that route: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal
