noun
a visual image such as a chart or diagram used to represent information or data.
“a good infographic is worth a thousand words”

You will be assigned a Principle of Design to make an Infographic on. Be sure that your poster has LOTS of information and interesting visuals. Look at the examples above to get a sense of the aesthetic (you will need to decide on a COLOR SCHEME). EVERY IMAGE YOU INCORPORATE WILL BE CREATED BY YOU NOT THE INTERNET!!! You will need to show how that principle is used in a variety of elements.

You can use an infographic Template from the following sources…

BEFORE YOU START!!!!!

In your sketch book you will…..

Create and Infographic about the Principle of Design you are assigned.

Requirements:

  • Include all your planning sketches! You can do them digitally or draw them on paper – upload to Google Classroom by photographing them.
  • You must include as much information about the Principle as possible.
  • Create examples of the Principle using the Elements of Art.
  • The information needs to flow, but it doesn’t have to flow straight down. Play around with different ways the information can flow.
  • Visually pleasing and easy to read! Very important to catch the viewers eye and have your work be seen.
  • Good Craftsmanship.
