This was a fun assignment. I did 2 posters because one was just a fun idea and the other was a serious controversial issue, but I like both of them. I believe medical marijuana should be legal in every state because it is a very useful medicine for many different ailments, which I showed in my poster. It helps almost any issue you can think of and it would be very beneficial for things like cancer and AIDS especially, since patients with these diseases often have trouble eating, which the marijuana helps with. I believe a major reason people are "afraid" of medical marijuana is because they are misinformed about what it can do. Also, lobbying by big pharmaceutical companies that don't want competition is part of the reason it isn't more prevalent as of right now.
As for the ostrich, I do have reasoning behind the poster and my hate for them. I was volunteering at a zoo and there was an ostrich in one of the enclosures next to one I was cleaning. When I was done cleaning my enclosure, I wanted to walk through where the ostrich was to get out, but it was blocking the gate. Any time I would move, it would follow me and prevent me from leaving. It would taunt me and just keep following me, not letting me get anywhere. I couldn't get out until the manager eventually came over and got the ostrich to leave me alone. It's a simple poster but it conveys how I feel about them in a way that I feel is adequate.
