The social issue I have chose to work with is breast cancer. The color that goes with this issue is pink and a common trend is the ribbon. Many people suffer from breast cancer and their are also many people that support and give to the cause to cure and help breast cancer patients. The major graphics for breast cancer are the pink ribbon and hearts.
