Poster Assignment

For this assignment we created a poster that raised awareness of the need for better nutrition in this country. I focused on how the rising obesity rates are also causing a rise in the Type II Diabetes rates. This is a huge problem because Type II Diabetes is a serious disease that in most cases can be prevented by better eating and exercising habits. I used the blue circle because it is the universal symbol for diabetes and also makes the shape of the letter "o" for obesity. The poster is filled with both haunting and educational statistics and at the end it says "don't be a statistic".
