How to Create a Digital Infographic: Tips and Guidelines

Establishing Your Term and Its Importance

1.Create a digital infographic demonstrating the complexity of a keyword (or one of the terms we’ve connected to that keyword), drawing from and citing at least three sources. Your poster should:
Clearly establish your term and its importance.
Use at least 3 substantial sources of information about your term.
Convey information clearly and concisely so that your poster is not overwhelmed by text
Use graphical elements wisely to communicate and reinforce your ideas; you can use handmade graphical elements (e.g. drawings, collages, etc) if you like.
Create a pleasing aesthetic effect.
Convey resources (including information sources, sources for visual images, tools used, etc.) appropriately on your poster itself, and also provide full citation information either on your blog (if you choose to post it there), or on a separate sheet submitted along with your infographic file.
You may use any medium you like for your infographic. It can be a drawing, a collage, or a papier-maché, or created with a tool like Canva, easel.ly or piktochart, some of which allow for interactivity. Acknowledge tools used, images sources, etc. in your Works Cited under a separate heading called Resources.
Write a short reflection on the process and outcomes of creating your infographic. To get you started, you can consider some of the following questions as you write: 
How does your infographic compare to those we studied in class? Did it convey the information the way you intended? Was anything missing? In what ways is it visually successful? Is it verbally successful? 
What did you learn about how infographics convey information? Do you see infographics differently now that you have represented data this way? Explain in your insights into the visual interpretation of data, how we interact with infographics, any problems with using infographics to represent information, or other observations relating to the keywords/topics we’ve discussed in class so far.
