Persuasive Poster

For the persuasive poster assignment, we were to choose a topic from the WIRED article "Why Things Suck" and design a black and white poster that promotes the problem. I chose the topic of tomatoes because I did a similar assignment last semester, so I am familiar with the issue. The article was about how tomatoes are imported when not in season, which in turn causes them to be tasteless. Locally grown food always tastes better. My poster features tomatoes grown on the vine, and tomatoes ripened in a warehouse. The phrase "on the vine its fine... on the gas just pass!" gets the viewers attention, then at the bottom of the poster an explanation of what the phrase really means is given. The website www.thecitycook.com was informative and gave me background information about my topic.
