Organizing Information with Infographics

It takes a lot of work to design a quality infographic.   These graphics are fact-heavy.  What do they tell you about climate change? Sometimes, they tell you way TOOO much, and you brain goes into overload. Organize your thinking for class about which infographic is the best and which is the least helpful.  Explain your reasoning.

  

USA Today is perhaps the king of simple infographics, focusing on one subject, or snapshot.  How does the USA today infographic differ from the ones above?

Of course, the quality of the information in an infographic is key.  Usually, sources are cited someplace (in itty-bitty type) at the bottom of the infographic.  If that is missing, the graphic lacks credibility.  CHECK the sources!

You want to use visual organization to provide information in a way that leaves the reader wanting to think about the topic.  Your assignment is creating a credible graphic about one possible solution to the issue of climate change.   Highlight the most pertinent facts of climate change and the hope that this solution offers.

How do we evaluate the quality of an infographic?
