This is the poster I designed for National Blog Day 2010. I decided to change issues this year because I’m pretty sure the one I want to do will be voted down by the popular vote in the end. There are a lot of people who visit my blog who support the same things I do who want to see the Islam and anti-war posters (I know who you are you emailed me a while back) and other posters about various issues. I’ve been having a bit of difficulty posting them, so they won’t be posted for a while. I have the National Blog Day 2010 poster I made that discusses which issue I decided to tackle. I chose the AIDS crisis because back when I had the internet readily available to me I spent a lot of free time watching activism videos in Vimeo’s Activism category. Vimeo is a youtube-like website that hosts a different kind of video. While Youtube is more geared towards home videos and music videos Vimeo is geared towards design videos and motion graphics and videos with an advocacy purpose. I chose the Aids crisis because of those videos. I didn’t understand the gravity of the situation until I watched a few of those mini-documentaries on there. You’ll see a post this October about what I’ve learned about the AIDS crisis and what I think we can do to help. The photograph is courtesy of NASA. I used Photoshop CS5 and this is the first time I’ve ever used any of it’s 3D rendering capabilities so tell me what you think. Also, if you host your own blog, tell me what issue you voted for. I hope the AIDS crisis wins, if it doesn’t then I’ll do the winning topic and the AIDS crisis as a subtopic.

Edit: The poster is supposed to say “National Blog Day 2010″ on the poster in curved type. This will be fixed tomorrow.”
