Infographics
Infographics help to create a visual representation of real information. I am new to the world of infographics but I can see it useful for sharing data easier. There are three sites that you can use to create one. I looked at Piktochart, Easel.ly and Infogr.am. I decided to use Piktochart to show data from the Pew Research Center about social media usage. I chose this one because of the variety of themes/templates and the variety of icons and images. I think the hardest thing was deciding on a template because I wasn't comfortable venturing on my own and starting from scratch. I was able to navigate pretty easily through the site. I showed some statistics of the trends of different demographic groups, but I think I went a little crazy with the colors of the different graphs. I think next time I will try and stick with the same color scheme so that it will blend together. Below you will find my Piktochart infographic.

Hello Stacey,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the infographics can be used to share information in a more colorful and appealing manner.
I also chose a template that was providing, but maybe next time, I will venture and create my own. It would be nice to create one with my students. They would surely not be afraid to explore.

I had the same issue! I had a difficult time selecting a template. There were too many options to choose from.
ReplyDeleteGood job on your infographic! It turned out very cute and very informative!
Your infographic turned out great! I love the visuals you choose to include. It is very informative.
ReplyDeleteI had trouble with Pikograph loading. I will have to try again now that I have one under my belt.
I like how you put the different pictures of media, Facebook, Twitter, and Pintrest. You created a very colorful infographic. It was interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your infographic. I think the colors are great and the information is interesting and informative. I was not brave enough to create one on my own just yet either since it was my first time, but would love to give it a go in the future. Isn't it great that we can at least pretend to be graphic designers :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way that Pictochart allows you to make the infographic more interactive. You can place you pointer on the graphs and they give you the the percentage on number that the graph is representing. Love these awesome tools!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really informative and easy-to-read infographic. Very nice!
