Infographics+Research+2016



==Research: Using the following wiki page to discover what Infographics are and how they are used in Business. Develop an understanding of how to create your own infographics. == =Now that you've done some research on how to make an Infographic and what makes a successful graphic you will begin to develop your own ideas for this project. = =REMEMBER: THE PURPOSE OF AN INFOGRAPHIC IS TO VISUALLY ORGANIZE A COMPLEX TOPIC IN A CREATIVE, VISUALLY APPEALING GRAPHIC, THAT UTILIZES CREATIVE TYPOGRAPHY, BUT ALLOWS THE VIEWER TO GET THE POINT THROUGH IMAGES, GRAPHICS, GRAPHS AND OTHER VISUALS. =
 * 1) **This page and your sketchbook visual journaling will all be part of your research.**
 * 2) **You will be using your choice of software (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign) to design your infographic.**
 * 3) **The size of the graphic will depend on which project you choose.**
 * 4) **Create a wiki page here that includes your final written artist statement presenting your Infographic to the class.**
 * 5) **Post the infographic on the wiki page in a size that is easily viewable for class critique. You will need to save the infographic as a jpg in order for it to be viewable on the wiki page.**
 * 6) **This wiki page with the embedded graphic and artist statement is your final exam.**
 * 7) **Please note that there are additional artist statement questions you are being asked. See the [|website] for the Exam Statement Requirements.**

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.
 * 1) Part of the assignment is to gather as much information as possible about the topic.
 * 2) This may include interviewing the teacher, administrator or students involved in the project. You may Skype with the people.
 * 3) You may also Google search to see if there is any local news information about the subject.
 * 4) Lastly you will start to pull together the key elements of the topic and develop full color thumbnails of your project. Use your Visual Journaling techniques to guide your process. I will expect to see your visual journal pages as part of what you turn in for the final credit for this unit. Reportable standard 1 and 2 will reflect not only the final Infographic, but also the Visual Journal pages you develop to plan your Infographic.

==Use my [|Pinterest Board On Infographics] to develop your idea further. ==
