Biology Biology Portfolio Assignment - Part 2

Infographic Instructions (Part 2)

Create your own infographic in either InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.

You can do it based on the brand/company you chose for your brochure in order to have another piece for your portfolio that follows the same theme or create an infographic that describes you (your hobbies, your grades, etc.). Be creative either way!

As we're nearing the end of the semester, use all the tools and principles you have learned to create a visually sound and functional design.
