Entry Title:
Anorexia and Bulimia Education
Project Description:
I have entered a digital infographic that educates viewers on Anorexia and Bulimia. I created this piece as an assignment in Mrs. Oulettes 8th grade health class in our nutrition unit. There are multiple reasons i created this graphic. Though I was required to make this for a class, I decided personally to continue adding and researching to educate others on these dangerous eating disorders. Eating disorders are a very large issue among many adolescents. Due to the growing issue, it is very important to me to spread awareness. To create this graphic i used Canva. All graphics belong to Canva. I did not illustrate the graphics myself and am not taking credit for the graphics shown. All information included was found outside credible sources that are listed at the bottom of the infographic
