Homelessness There are endless possibilities that I could do when tackling homelessness as a social action as I could play of the idea of what makes up a homeless persons ‘home’ for example cardboard boxes, newspaper, doorways and make very simplistic poster or do the opposite and have a very busy poster full of words and pops of colour to help make it more eye catching. If I chose homelessness I would choose a simplistic black white and grey colour scheme but have pops colour either green, red or orange and this colour scheme would also brought into the logo and any other products I make to help keep the continuity between all the products and make them easily recognisable to the charity whether that’s SASH (helping youth homelessness) or Crisis.

Mental Health Looking at the ‘Stamp out the stigma’ idea and making people talk about the topic so it isn't such a taboo topic all over the world. Also try to break down the misconceptions surrounding mental health. Also could look into the issues people with mental health problems face and have real people on the posters and real stories to show how common it is to suffer with mental health problems within todays society.

Drink DrivingFor this I could use some of the THINK! Campaigns ideas and keep very simple looking posters, excepts have blurred warped text to help display what alcohol can do to you judgment even if its just one drink you could still be over the limit and I could show this in the form of an info graphic and show how much drink puts different groups off people over the limit.
