This social cause must have an actual organization behind it (i.e. American Cancer Society / Humane Society / Dollar for a Drink, etc) You must have this organization's logo and website on the final poster. The poster must contain a handmade element in the design (this includes a range of mediums and methods from photography, collage, painting, paper, sewing, etc). Please think about the meaning of the material and how it relates to your message. The poster will be turned in on Nov. 1st under glass.
