I will do my background with images and facts covering the board. Then at the side a mirror that has an obese person that the figure thinks they look while my figure is actually very small and not eating at all.

I chose the theme of Anorexia Nervosa because it was an eating disorder that I think is more serious than anything. No one knows how serious it is and how many people actually suffer from it. My personal connection to Anorexia is because is is a disorder that I suffered from for several months.

My creative process was hard at first, I just wanted to show the facts. I didn't want to actually make the connection because as I went through the facts and everything I could feel the pain setting in. So i decided to go with my plan similar to the one posted. I finally came out of my "shell" and let my feelings sink in. The problem that I encountered was how do I not make this look like a science fair project. The decision I had to make the most was how to design my poster.

I think my piece is successful in showing the risks yet how hidden the disorder can really be.What wasn't working is my whole background and color scheme I think I could've done differently. I think that I would start from scratch and do everything differently but I am happy with the result.
