My intentions of this project was to do something witty and comical. I came across many websites with funny one-liners and phrases but the one that sparked my interest the most was the line "You don't know what you have until it's gone." The phrase has a philosophical meaning to which it applies to us all whether or not we choose to believe. I didn't actually do any research on the subject per se, but as the phrase states, it is about taking someone or something for granted.

Inspiration
My inspiration for my idea consisted of just looking at images of funny PSA flyers on the internet.
Process Work (Refer to previous post for initial designs)
My first approach to the poster consisted of what may seem a little unprofessional. I received feedback on changing the orientation, font type, and some just didn't understand the message. I admit, I was pretty vague on my focus because the toilet paper roll really didn't offer any substance to my message. I also received great suggestions from Ms. Rothrock and Jeff, so I took the advice into great consideration when revising my poster.
During my revision of my poster I decided to change the orientation to landscape, removed the faces on the toilet paper, rotated the paper roll, added some torn paper, added "Be grateful" at the bottom, trash can, changed font and included a border. I was pretty content with this design and received more positive feedback than previously, but I felt there were some minor adjustments needed to be made.
My final poster is pretty much the same as my second design with some tweaks. I decided to scrap the "Be grateful" at the bottom since I felt the message and subject should be more clear now. I also rotated the paper roll so it looks like it's actually falling into the trash.
Self-Reflection
I really enjoyed this project since it correlates to what I want to do in the future as a Graphic Designer. I think I could have done a lot better if I had more time but in spite of that, I am quite pleased with the results.
