My concept in this project is to show debt. I want to show an illustration of a needle because a needle can refers to drugs which is something very addictive. Therefore, I want to show that debt is becoming like a drug these days. Once a person borrows money, it sometimes become a habit and people start borrowing more money until one day they may end up in a big trouble because they can not return the money back to their owners. My point is to try to convince the people to stop making it as a habit because debt can put them in really bad situations. Many people do not realize those problems happen because of the continuous borrowing of money , and it could be a bigger issue for the uneducated people. The word “Kick the habit” is usually a word used when people see a person addicted to something. For instance, They say it when they see a person addicted to smoking. Likewise, I am trying to show that being in debt is like an addiction. Thus, I feel using this word which is commonly used among the people would be very powerful to catch ones attention.

It will help people to know that debt is becoming like a habit. I am creating awareness to let them stop before they carry a heavy load.

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

I have learned that in order to make a good and an effective design, I should research well about it.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

I have done a lot of research about the topic, then i thought how can i make the people react to a situation related to debt. I thought creating a design which is metaphorical will help the people to grasp the information better, as it will require people to think more about it.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

i want my poster to be shown everywhere around the world. I want to see the peoples reaction towards the poster, because debt is becoming a major issue. This poster is will help create awarness about debt.

Yes, many people reacted to my work, because they were interested in the way i combined debt with the idea of drugs, needle and addiction. they told me the word "Kick the habit", which is a word commonly used to the people who has a certain addiction, helps the people to catch their attention.
