Additional Information
Your infographic should demonstrate how technology was a vital tool during the pandemic and inform the reader about your specific topic.
Know your subject. Become a content expert on your topic. Do thorough research on your topic.
Share key points visually; show, do not tell. Try converting as much of your data and text into visual imagery using charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, flowcharts, and other elements.
Draw a rough sketch of the infographic. The infographic must have a beginning, middle, and end.
Use at least two other sources of information besides the assigned article. Some of your sources can be gray literature (not peer-reviewed). Provide your references on a separate page in the correct format.
Using data will make your project more meaningful and help your audience visualize the significance of your topic.
Proofread well. Save the infographic as a pdf so it is viewable by anyone.
