I chose this topic because i feel like it is a big problem relatating to college students, and people all over the world. The audience that i will focus on for my project is more of a young adult/adult perspective. Children dont usually suffer from eating disorders so this is why a more young adult/adult audience would be appropriate. The purpose of my project will be to present the harsh realities of eating disorders and what people go through if they have an eating disorder. Some of the genres i may use will be a diary, a poster, pictures, videos, and pamphlets and magazines about eating disorders.
