  This is a flyer I found at work (The Chase House) and it is an example of an  cause and effect.  It was a campaign from Baltimore City government.  I am not sure exactly how effective it was because I think it is an ongoing campaign.  I personally don't think it was too effective because the flyer is text heavy.  Many of the residents I work with are iliterate so it the couselor idea to post it but she was unavailable to read it to them.  The photo and the title is not very eye catching.  Looking at this campaign flyer it reminds me of the mistakes I don't want to make when making my own. 
  Recently in the neighborhood, (about a month ago), was another campaign to take back Baltimore City Streets.  (couldn't find the flyer) but it was text heavy however it also had color.  As a community many local businesses such as: Eddie's and the residents were excited and was trying to get block off the street in effort to raise awareness for all the crime that was going on in the news.  At the time of this campaign (also I think sponsored by Baltimore City government) the Travor Martin case was wrapping up and several reckless shootings.  I also think at the time a three-year old boy was shot in the car in Cherry Hill.
  I think it is important for heirachy and typography for cause and effect to be effective.  That is what i am focused on when completing my project.
