(Post) Infographic

How I made my infographic? How does it relate to my capstone? Did I have to do more research?

The first thing that I did was set a theme for my inforgraphic, which was technology. The font reminded me of the future and technology which went well with my topic: media. I didn't use any bright colors because I wanted to keep the infographic serious and not playful. I made a graph so that my infographic could have a visual instead of paragraphs. I used statistics that were mainly about young girls to show the everlasting effect that media has. I definitely had to do more research for my inforgraphic. Surprisingly I did not come across many statistics during my research for my essay, so I had to find some on the internet.

Hardest thing/easiest thing

The main obstacle that I encountered while making this infographic was starting out. It was difficult, at first, to figure out what I wanted my infographic to look like and what kind of message that I wanted to convey. After I had everything planned out, making it was not the problem anymore, the process was easy and fun.

Did you make any adjustments?

I did not make a poster in January term, because I had to recover a credit. So making a poster using photo shop was new to me.

Do you need to make any changes afterwards?

I do need to make a few changes on my infographic, such as adding more information and visuals. I might also need to make few other infographics so I can have a variety to use for my capstone presentation.
