On the Thomas Jefferson picture I posted above, the addition of a small, un-copyrighted picture of the shooting might drive the point home.

Fletchette,
I actually liked your first attempt a lot....
Simple, direct, quick and easy to understand, so don't give up on that one. Play around with the text, font and size a bit. Maybe crop the photo down to show more of the dog or just its face (cute dog btw, I assume its yours) it has a very sad expression and I think that should be the main focal point.

If you have a basic photo editing program, you may even try converting the image to b&w, just for kicks and giggles to see how it would look. Good start though, I like the idea. If you don't have a basic editing program grab Photoshop Elements it may be all you need. Then when youre hooked on graphic design you can spring for Photoshop and InDesign
this one isn't the one of the puppy, which I will work on shortly, but a further rendition of the Jefferson poster. After consulting with the local experts here on The High Road, the use of news images for political posters does not appear to be a copyright infringement. So, here's the latest:

Good Job! I think you have this one pretty much nailed. You messege is pretty clear, the image in the background really helped.
Totally off topic, but Nancy Grace would say yes.
She wants to ban all pit-bulls.http://www.nopitbullbans.com/?p=53

Your post 166 is great. Bold the main text and change "CCW" to "pistol" because most people don't know that "CCW" means Concealed Carry Weapon.

I realize I'm coming in a bit late on this one, but here's an idea that came to mind.
Show a classroom setting with the teacher and/or one or more students holding handguns. Caption it with "If Cho Seung-Hui had seen this," Add second photo with teacher and students cowering and caption with "instead of this, how would the outcome had differed? Self defense is a basic human right."

While we're on the topic of posters, this one was made by some Koreans who took it to the US Embassy in Seoul:
Would it be possible to juxtapose the Jefferson quote with the quote from VT on how the CCW ban on campus would make everyone feel safe?
Not sure of the pictures that could be used, but here's the text.
"I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
Larry Hincker, January 31, 2006
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Benjamin Franklin, November 11, 1755
I'm having trouble coming up with a pithy remark to cover both quotes, however.

Jimmie,
With reference to your first one: Only someone on here would pick something as esoteric as an STG44, for a poster like that
