Auto theft is a highly preventable form of crime that affects residents in North Vancouver. Second year design students create communications “ad” programs that could reach out to the public about the issues of auto theft and how to counter-act it. The students created public awareness assets such as posters, email campaigns, and other strategies to bring public awareness to the issues of auto theft in North Vancouver.
