Both of my social awareness posters are for the opioid epidemic.
For my first poster of the iceberg, I used the hide all layer mask to fade in the needle into the iceberg. I used the blur tool to blend the little silhouettes of people into the water and the iceberg. I used the quick selection tool for all of the silhouettes.
For my second poster, I found another black silhouette of a backpacker. This image I magnetic lassoed and copied and pasted. I used the reveal all layer mask to make the bright red color fade onto the pavement background. I used a freehand lasso to cut out the ball and chain so that I could paste in onto my poster and make it look like it was around the backpacker's ankle. I used the eraser and blur tool to clean it up. I then selected, copied, and pasted a small needle onto the ball, but didn't fade it like I did in my first poster. For the words I couldn't find a font in Photoshop that I thought was strong enough, so I went onto 1001freefonts.com and found this one. I downloaded it and installed it onto Photoshop and used the color navy to contrast with the red.
