<span style="color: #248bb8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5;">**You will choose one of the Infographic Projects from the Menu of choices here. Each Infographic has a real client in the Pewaukee School District for whom you will be designing. Part of the assignment is to gather as much information as possible about the topic. This may include interviewing the teacher, administrator or students involved in the project. You may Skype with the people. You may also Google search to see if there is any local news information about the subject. Lastly you will start to pull together the key elements of the topic and develop full color thumbnails of your project. Use this digital page for research, but also use your Visual Journaling techniques to guide your process. I will expect to see 6-8 full color thumbnails of your idea(s).** ==<span style="color: #27add9; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use my [|Pinterest Board On Infographics] to develop your idea further. ==

<span style="color: #248bb8; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5;">**Only 4 people can choose each project. I will assign a 5th person to one since we have 17 in class. Once 4 designers have chosen then the project will be full.**
