1. Save as illustrator (Include linked files)
2. Save as jpeg
3. Upload in 05 - Infographic
4. In the folder create a document
- 1. Why did you pick your topic, and where did you get your facts?
- 2. Did you use another infographic for inspiration?
- 3. How did you apply texture to your design?
- 4. How did you apply any of the elements of design?
Make a folder: 05 - Infographic (with texture)
Make a new illustrator file with these dimensions:
What is an infographic? First follow these links.
- http://mashable.com/2012/07/09/how-to-create-an-infographic/ - Describes what an infographic is, and gives some great tips on how to build one.
- Go on a web search for infographics. Try searching the word infographics with other words such as: history infographics, technology infographics, social media infographics, etc.
- Infographics are usually rectangular, and often tall, in nature. (Recommended) On a page of paper, sketch out 3 potential ideas for an infographic.
- Your info graphic could be in any of the following topic areas.
- Portray historic information
- Portray statistics about Americans or another culture (EX: How much we read)
- Interesting statistics about anything: Sports, Fashion, Individuals, Your Favorite Band
- Try the Random Word Generator for ideas
A FEW REQUIREMENTS..
Your infographic must....
1. Be Original - If you're copying another infographic, I WILL make you start over.
- You can use an infographic for inspiration that is NOT of your topic.
- Example: Find a cool infographic about trains, make a similar styled infographic about Michael Jackson.
- DO NOT find an infographic about trains, and make an identical infographic about trains. Get it? GOOD!
2. Contain at least 5 facts, of which visual representation is the main mode of communication.
3. Use at least 3 photoshop cutouts.
4. Use some form of texture in the design (we will do a mini-lesson on using textures early next week)
