Why I chose to research this topic
During my first year of Apollo, I studies Billy Milligan, yes not a serial killer, but I did study his mental health regarding his multiple personality disorder. I enjoyed the overall research and understanding of his brain and how it functioned. Like always, I enjoy studying psychology and learning about the brain. So for the project, I wanted to know about the psychology of serial killers and understanding the thinking process of why they commit murder. I wanted to learn how these. reasons effected their mental state and how they could have possibly been victims at one point of their lives, and didn't receive the help they needed to help prevent these disturbing acts.
English
For the English portion of my project, I created a Keynote powerpoint presentation explaining of why serial killers kill. In doing so, I created a mind map to visually display the reasoning and go into specific detail within the slides when explaining the points on the mind map. The art portion of my project was included within the second part of the slideshow as well.

Art
For the art portion of my project I researched and analyzed the symbols that serial killers used or wrote that investigators found throughout their discoveries. I also researched about how the color red symbolizes murder because of blood. I put my research into my Keynote presentation, (which can be viewed above), and the created my own serial killer named the, "Shopping Strangler", and wrote a description of them and a symbol that relates to the fake murders.
