Armed violence is defined as violence done with a firearm. Violence with firearms may or may not be illegal. Homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and, depending on the jurisdiction, suicide or attempted suicide are all considered forms of criminal violence. 

The Washington Post has produced a series of graphics that illustrate how gun-related fatalities and injuries have increased to unprecedented levels in the US, allowing readers to see my data in action. According to one graph, the number of gun-related deaths in 2020 was 19,380, making it the most in the previous 20 years. A further graph indicates that, despite the ongoing pandemic, seven mass shootings have claimed 40 lives since March 2020, with the most recent ones in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado, accounting for a total of 18 fatalities. 

The design that influenced my work is the design peace from Cooper Hewitt because it shows how kids used seesaws between the Mexican and the US border. This shows that the pursuit of peace needs to be done in gun violence. 

The font that I consider for my design is jubilat. 

The colors I consider are red and white. 

The design motifs will be a cross sign with a gun in the middle.

Yes because it will explain that gun violence is a big effect towards the decline of the population in the USA.

I consider a 3 by 2 page set.
