infographic

1. What site did you select to create your Infographic? Why did you select this site? What are the pros/cons of the site?

I choose easily because looking at the previews of all of the programs, This one stood out as the most helpful and organized for working with clip art rather thang graphs. As my idea was a more graphic and organized approach with less information is seemed like the most visual flexibility. Also looking into the program more they have many templates that would already take your average poster to the next step

2. What is the topic of your infographic and why did you select it? Which L.A.T.C.H. method did you use and why?

My info is a warning posture that you would normally see in a nurses office about germs and boogers but its about the crumpled up piece of paper and your ideas coming from the paper! So the concept is warning you that great ideas exist within your mistakes.

3. Compare the infographic you created for this project to the poster you created using InDesign. Which tool do you prefer using, the Adobe tools or the online tools and why?

Adobe 100% as I understand a lot more about illustrator overall. I was frustrated because I ended up having to use photoshop anyways to get the colors and images in that I wanted.

5. From the video " The Beauty of Data Visualization", answer the following:

The colors 1. They way an image is demonstrated and the way we cut out and leave out and leave in information can make something false. Perspective can easily be changed. What he means by this is depending on what we show and how we show it changes the context, and intern our perceptions.
2. Information can easily become disorganized and too much to process. Just as colors and organizing with images can be deceiving, it also can be very helpful in understanding and keeping it all easily understandable that way there is not questions now what the information provided is meant to tell us.
3. How we demonstrate visuals matters, how we visually tell you a story matters. Shows how important artists are to bring understanding to an abundance of information in smaller and more easily understandable steps.
4. I found the balloon reface interesting! never have I seen information that was taken about information. This was a visual demonstrating how much research was done on a particular health benefit or something that you should eat because so many of these tests says so. Really took a lot of the confusing issues I didn't understand in nutrients apparent. Showing how easily artists can take complicated information and breaks it down.
