poster progress

 

this is my first idea, al the things in the cup of water are the chemicals they use in fracking.  These chemicals are getting into drinking wells and polluting peoples drinking water.  This idea was too one sided though.

 this idea was the two sides, for fracking and not for fracking, and they both had one goal to keep the water clean and not pollute.  This was too literal.

 this is brings up the question of wheather we should or shouldn't frack, this is too general of an idea.

these were my ideas down on paper after i couldn't find common ground.

this is the final idea and my poster.  This is going off the idea of the two sides but instead of clean water as a commonality i made it money.  The frackers are getting paid and getting cheaper gases, as well as the non frackers, and the people that own the land being fracked on are getting royalty money.  I made the person on the dollar bill a mix of the workers and the public who do not want the digging to happen.  I chose to represent those people with a woman, and the construction hat is the worker.  I put no face on the woman because i wanted it to show no identity because it doesn't just talk to one person or side.  The jagged shapes in the background represent the shale itself and the shaking up of the issue of shale.  This also plays off of the make or break statement at the bottom of the page.  The shapes are sturdy, like shale, which makes it, and they are also jagged which could break, also like shale.
