Taking inspiration from an infographic about immigration in the United States, I recreated what it would look like with similar percentages and styles but changed the theme: What if there were only a certain number of cellular licenses given a year and you HAD to have one to use a cell phone?
While an exact correlation is difficult for me to think of (let me know if you think of a way!), I believe that students would be more likely to care about something that affects them. Immigration is not something every students is going to deal with or even understand why it’s a problem. This whole design was born from the outlook of “But I live here, so why do I care who else can get in?” or “I already live here, not my problem“. It is a fairly selfish (see: teenager) attitude and although I only observe it at my school anecdotally, I still see the need to make it ‘real’ enough that a kid would care about it long enough to think about it, or, at the very least, truly understand how and why the system works the way it does.
Edit: An earlier link to my artifact had a few errors.
