Tripped upon this advertising campaign that addresses the issue of youth and the effects that Arthritis has

Arthritis Challenge Advertising campaign

"Arthritis Challenge is a transmedia campaign designed to raise awareness that young people get arthritis and to inform their peers on what the disease is, and what it is like for someone living with it. The campaign is targeted at 15-18 year old as this is the age where bullying can happen towards someone with arthritis if their peers don’t understand what it is. Currently teens lack the right information about the disease with the common misconception that it is an old persons disease. This campaign was produced by myself and a digital media major Lisa Martin in our fourth year of university. Our campaign has been designed with a fun and interactive element to allow teens to experience a little of what it is like to have the disease."

I have been sewing lots and experimenting with various materials and patterns. This past week, I sat down with a research participant to get feedback
