What topic have you settled on, and why? For what audience(s) and purpose(s) might you design this project? What sources might you draw on? What genres might you use to represent your work?

I have decided on cervical cancer to be my topic. The reason i have settled on this specific topic is because my sister has just been diagnosed, and i would like to no more about the specific type of cancer. The audience will be toward my family and her friends, so i can be educating them about the journey we will be taking along with my sister through this tough time. The purpose than is to educate and familiarize myself and family and all those who care about my sister. I am going to research books, articles, and previous cervical cancer cases. I will try to get in contact with a specialist in this area. I will also be looking at the movie my sisters keeper, which is about the family's struggle to overcome the powerful disease of cancer which their daughter has. And finally i will use my sister as a source, to look at things in her perspective. I will be using a tattoo, a diary, a stream of conscience, a campaign design, an ad or commercial on the cancer and preventions, and most likely a research paper.
