The problem we addressed was the problem of smoking in Polk County. Too many people smoke and are harming their health so we decided to try and put a stop to it by making a Public Service Announcement to pursuade them to stop smoking.
We first had the idea to make a few posters to address the severity of smoking and the harm it causes to your health. We were then advised to take a different route and do something more out of the box.
We then changed the direction of our project and decided to make a 3D pair of sickly lungs that we made out of a wire frame with mesh and then formed and shaped with plaster. We then painted the lungs with pink and gray paint to show how lungs look when you smoke. We mounted the lungs onto a stand and played a bluetooth speaker playing the sound of someone breathing who smokes.
