Many animal cruelty suspects are known to be teens
and young adults, almost always young males. It is also
known that the cruel act of animal abuse is as likely
to follow other violent crimes as it is to precede them.
You can help BREAK THE CYCLE.

- Increase education and awareness, in your
generation, on the importance of, “Making the
Connection between Animal Cruelty and Human Violence”.
|
- For your task, design/create a mock-up of an
online multimedia Public Service Announcement
(PSA), also known as a webpage, on the importance
of “Making the Connection between Animal Cruelty
and Human Violence”.
- A mock-up is a model used for the demonstration
of a design. Do not confuse a mock-up with a prototype.
Prototypes are always meant to function, where as
mock-ups are only meant to look like the real system.
- Multimedia is a combination of content forms
such as text, audio, still images, animation, video,
and interactivity.
- The Internet facilitates the means to achieve
global communication, networking and advertising
for example, the use of social networking websites
like MySpace, hi5 and Facebook.
- Before making the mock-up of your PSA webpage,
consider the application of simple webpage design
templates, similar to those available in software
like Microsoft Word and Publisher. However,
you can use any software of preference for your design.
- Be creative. Develop a message that
educates, creates awareness and speaks out to your
generation.
