Infographics BALT 318

 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 vis...

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. The visual or picture of an actual cleaning of a house to show the work that the company provides. This will give the potential buyer an expectation of what the company has to offer.  Seeing the work might motivate the buyer to give the company a try. I feel when you see actual work you are more likely to want to try the work or the product the company offers. The second idea of posting actual information of the company might be a good way to have the potential buyer to get to know the company and become familiar with who owns it...

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 ru...

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. 

 Vaccinations VS Non Vaccinations During this time in our life one of the most controversial discussions are those of people who are pro or con getting the vaccine. I used Piktochart to create the infographic providing information regarding vaccinations versus non-vaccinations.

 How to blog BALT 3318 INFOGRAPHICS Sept. 20, 2021 Blogging does not come easy to me. I do not feel blogging is something I enjoy, nor do I feel like any of my blogs are enjoyable. Since the start of this class, I have learned a few new concepts/ideas about blogging. I have also begun to understand the power of blogging and the message that is portrayed to the audience. I am very positive there is a lot more that I still do not understand or need more practice, but infographics is extremely intriguing to me.   Obtaining the attention from an audience who might make decision, understand concepts, learn ideas, or gain new information all by creating a method where you captivate someone's attention is amazing. I am always impressed by creative YouTubers or even recently TikTok members. These individuals could change someone's entire life by the way they present the message and the trust those watching them have towards them. To a certain level blog can hold the same power. Blog...

 Social Media Users      It is not a surprise to see the rising numbers on users across the world who are now members of some type of social media. Not having a social media account is considered "weird" or "strange". Most people log in to social media to document their feelings, show-off their new car or teach you how to cook quickly and deliciously. Anyone anywhere can join can a site and they are allowed to have an opinion about EVERYTHING. Nobody can escape the judgment social media users have towards everything we post. Most if not all my age friends can be found on either Facebook or Instagram. Some might have a LinkedIn and other might have a Tik-tok, but pretty much everyone can be found online. Many documentaries have been created in the last few years warning us about the effects of using social media on the youth, but I truly believe some adults should stay away from social media if they are emotionally immature or lack thick skin....
