Product design
I found this particular piece of design quite amusing, it is witty yet it still works, the layout of the designs and how the idea has been put in reality shows that it is successful.

The government campaign "Fire Kills" works really well as a logo as well as a poster, it grabs the audience by making the message personal "you" refers the the person reading it. the colours used are effective as they resemble what is trying to prevent.
Drink aware Is another campaign which seeks to decrease the amount of casualties from drinking too much alcohol. The type really stands out to me as being particularly appealing to young adults, the colours also appeal to both female and male. It asks a simple question which deters the audience from getting so drunk that it ruins their night, it is successful in preventing heavy drinking.
