 Creating an infographic begins by thinking of different ways to present my information. Important aspects of the infographics are presentation, relationship to the data, and attracting the preferred audience. So to begin I write down my ideas and create a plan. I picture the infographics and brainstorm where I will pull the data from and/or the pictures I would like to use to present. The next step is to then think about the audience I want to attract. It is important to consider the audience for me to present the information in the best way.  Once I type up my post, I search for the best pictures to represent the data I want to share. This step takes into consideration how I want to create the idea I have visualized. I save the pictures into my files, I place them on my infographic. The last step is to read my information to verify it is clear to understand. The information I write about has to relate to the pictures or graphs I used.  For this example, I am using a visual for thinki

As I begin to the of a plan to make an infographic which will captivate and motivate a buyer to do business with my friends cleaning company will have actual information but will be presented in a way which should grasp the attention of anyone. The following ideas I have for the infographic I would like to design has the following two components, a visual of the actual work done by the company and information about the company that is easy to understand.

As I brainstormed on who to contact I thought of two close family friends who have their own business. I also wanted to look into contacting a non for profit which could use some help with marketing.  Person 1: My childhood friend owns his cleaning business where he offers both residential and commercial cleaning. After he lost his job due to covid he started his own business which in the last 6 months has grown tremendously. Most of his advertising has been done on social media. However, he also spent a great amount of time passing out flyers to different residential areas and businesses. I contacted him on Monday, October 11, we discussed how his business was going and I mentioned my school project. He was highly interested in my working on an infographics for his business. I mentioned I had a couple other people to contact but I would get back to him if I decided to work on his.  Person 2: My brothers ex-wife works a full time job and also has a bakery business which she runs out of

Updated Infographics I posted my original blog about adult learning on me snapchat asking for feedback. Most of the feedback I received was towards the clarity of the presentation. Most people who responded mentioned it was unclear and had too much going on. I searched for a layout which would have less graphics but use the same wording. I felt it was straight to the point and did not feel so heavy. I also felt the lighter colors on the second infographic provided a calm feeling versus my original which was very strong and felt aggressive. As, this class advances I have begun to realize many different components when creating and infographics. Colors, pictures, and font make a huge different depending on what the topic is or who the audience are. My original infographics for Adult Learning gave most people a childish creative thinking whereas my second one was more focused towards adults and specifically women.
