Gun Safety and Violence Prevention Infographic

In this class, each student needs to design one spread for a collective newsprint publication about Gun Safety and Violence Prevention. This is aimed at a general audience. My chosen topic is Violence Intervention Programs. I focus on the 6 strategies and how the programs help reduce crime and gun assaults. Size: tabloid (289 x 380 mm trim size)
Learning Outcomes:
I've learned how to translate the information from facts and data to powerful graphics with analytical, clear, objective and informative.
I want to make a comparison between the states that have adopted the policy and the states that have the least or most gun violence. I use the same kind of map for both so audience can easily draw comparisons between the two. In the other part, there are 6 sections and each represents one strategy. There are real examples showing and proving the programs are helping reduce gun violence.
