Gun Violence, Who Pays?

Description	My design poses the question; what is the price we pay for gun violence? What do neighborhoods, families and loved one's go through after experiencing gun violence? The statement also eludes to the profit gained from the buying and selling of guns, is it good, bad, or just a natural evolution of society? I think the simplicity of the poster's statement leaves room for interpretation and contemplation, combined with a bold graphic to illustrate the point.

End Gun Violence poster campaign

The power of the “End Gun Violence” campaign is in the collection of voices, supporting the simple premise that gun violence is detrimental to the life of our communities. If the full strength of our profession’s creativity can be harnessed to clarify and give form to this subject, we may be able to command the attention of the public and to help effect a solution.
