For my visual advocacy project I propose to advocate the issue of offshore drilling. I think it would be a great project for me to do as I know little about the subject, but would like to learn about it. I will investigate both sides of this issue and decide whether I am in opposition or not. In my project I will include both sides of the issue supported with research. In my research I will include politics, describing both the democratic and republican take on this issue. I will include how this issue affects our environment, our economy, and American citizens personally.
For the photo portion of the project I plan to include: photos of offshore drilling sites which emphasize the process of offshore drilling, maps of where drilling will occur, and photos of the environmental impact. For the comic strip there are two aspects that I can show; the one I choose is dependent upon my decision to support or oppose. One aspect would portray the negative effects that offshore drilling would have on our environment; showing the progression in a timeline fashion. The other one would be the opposite showing the progression of the positive effects of offshore drilling.
For a 30 second flash animation I will create an animation showing offshore drilling or from the opposing side create an animation incorporating green peace. The five page website will include: Senator Obama’s and Senator McCain’s side on the issue, Green Peace’s involvement, links to other websites covering the subject, graphs/charts of the effect on our economy (if possible), and several paragraphs expressing my opinion on the subject. The PowerPoint presentation will serve as a conclusion and sum up all my main points of the project.

Great choice! And with the upcoming election it may help to sway some votes....
I definitely think is a great choice for the project. This is a very important issue and I would love to know more about it as well; to know whether it would really have positive results.
This is such an awesome idea for a project, I'm actually quite jelous I didn't chose it before you. But in all seriousness, I totally would like to learn more on where all my money is going with all these gas prices rising. Way to go Joe on the topic, let's really see where all our hard earned money end up, right?
very nice topic. we definately need to be further informed about offshore drilling especially since elections are coming up.
