LIT2000 Poetry Project Assignment

ProjectGuidelines.docxProject Guidelines: Poet Infographic
You will be creating an Infographic on one of the authors that we covered this semester in LIT 2000; this type of assignment seeks to accomplish two goals: explore at least two points about an author's works and create a visual support for the information. Our audience today often likes information in short "bites" with visual emphasis, so all writers need to be able to manipulate this type of document.
These are some of the items that you will need to include:
· Banner at the top of the page with the author's name and subtitle (theme of your visual essay).
· Overview of what you are going to explain about his or her work.
· Two points enhanced by visual representations.
· A sidebar with biographical information on the author.
· A summary of what the two points convey in a larger sense.
· This assignment is designed to give your practice on creating a visual essay, and your audience would be a college class.
Use color and design to convey your own sense of creativity!
