Design Brief Project 3 Revised

1 What is your topic? 

My topic is about the use of face masks

2 What is your interest in the chosen topic?

I enjoy anything health care related. I also can sew and wanted to make masks for people, so I was doing a lot of research already and decided, why not make an infographic so people are more informed.  

3 Who do you feel your audience might be?

Anyone curious in making face masks for themselves or others. 

4 What is your goal in presenting this information?
