For my First Things First manifesto response, I chose to illustrate the idea of how most people focus on graphic design being used for advertisements, instead of more important issues in the world. I decided to layer and mix together the content of the manifesto in a really ugly billboard advertisement. A couple stop and focus their attention on this useless billboard and completely ignore a homeless man nearby. It brings awareness to the idea that graphic design would benefit the world immensely if it focused more on social and cultural crises such as the homeless community.
