Medium: Magazine and Google Collage

The goal of this project was to encourage compassion for new parents who want to move their child’s car seat forward facing. I completed this by seeking outside resources to expand my knowledge, interviewed my mother-in-law to gain a better perspective and worked with materials using the elements and principals of design. I combined hand cut collage with computer graphics to help develop my poster. I chose this topic as my public announcement because as a parent, it can be tempting to move your child to a forward-facing car seat before they are ready. Experts say keeping your child rear facing for as long as possible, up to the limits of the car seat is the best way to keep your child safe because it absorbs most of the crash forces and supports the head, neck and spine
