SMOKING KILLS AD

For this assignment, we were tasked with creating an ad that showcases a product in an unrealistic or exaggerated way. I chose to focus on the dangers of smoking and designed an ad that replaces a cigarette with a bullet to symbolize how deadly smoking can be—just like a bullet. I created the image in black and white to give it a serious and dramatic tone, while keeping the bullet in its original gold color to make it stand out and draw attention. This contrast helps reinforce the message and makes the visual more impactful and thought-provoking. I used Adobe Photoshop to create this poster. I replaced the cigarette with a bullet using a clipping mask, aligned the bullet with the fingers, and added realistic shadows to make the image more believable and visually compelling.
