Infographics Introduction

What we did in the lesson
Last week we were set the task to answer a set of questions created by Steve. We did this because Steve wanted to know some of our opinions on certain things that happen in lessons and also because we needed this information to make our own Infographic data. We then had to complete a question sheet, these questions could only be answered by looking at data presented on a pie chart/ bar chart. I found this relatively easy and completed the task.

Looking at different posters that use Infographics
Steve showed the class some different posters that all were different when it came to representing data. They were very interesting to look, we discussed the pros and cons of all of the posters and the different ways we would change the posters to make them clearer to read. I learned that data can be shown in many different ways and does not have to be shown on the stereotypical line graph or pie chart. I also learned how to make a effective poster that shows data clearly, for example we learn that a poster with a lot of writing does not allow the reader to easily understand what is being put across in the poster. Posters that relate there data to what they are talking about, (e.g. animal posters using animals to represent the growth in data by increasing the size of the animal) allows the reader to understand instantly what the poster is about and makes the poster look very appealing. One of the poster we looked at that was the most effective can be seen below.
