Info project 3

Infographic Project

Criteria

· Create a new and unique infographic. This means that it cannot be anywhere on the internet in order to get credit.

· Infographic can be about anything you would like, as long as it is interesting to you and has lots of data associated with it!

· Infographic must make the viewer want to take some action. For example: An infographic about EWaste should have not only lots of data about EWaste, but also should make the viewer want to take action. You can also have some items on there that show what types of action people can take.

· Infographic must have at least 8 significant data items on it.

· Infographic must have at least 4 charts that you have created with the numbers you found in your research.

· All charts have to be created within the tool and not ‘lifted’ from the web.

· Infographic must reflect true and accurate data. This means that all data must be real data from a verifiable and credible source. Please add the source(s) of the data in a separate citation word document as well as in the Infographic. APA or MLA citations needed.

· Infographic must be turned in as a .gif, .jpeg, or .png.

· You can use any infographic software you like (Piktochart seems to be a popular one).

· Make sure your infographic looks like an infographic! Also, it needs to be easy to read and understand.

· This is an individual project.

· The projects will be presented and voted upon.

· Infographic length must be between 2 and 5 pages (landscape) (11x42.5)
