What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.

Public service announcements are used to get the attention of a large group of people. They are typically images or videos, and I have noticed they usually appeal to a person's emotions. A good PSA will be appealing to look at in order to get the attention of others and make a point that is easy to understand. To get someone to fully acknowledge your PSA and follow through with your intentions, you need to try and go after their subconscious thought process. The best way to do this is to try to evoke emotion through the image. My idea is to try to stop the public (mainly teenagers/young adults) from texting and driving. From my own experience I know how distracting texting and driving is and it can cause dangerous results.
