I know these are not related to infographics, but I thought these might be helpful for some of the early assignments.

DAYTUM

If you are having problem plotting an accurate data for your infographic, this app/website might be helpful. This is a tool for counting and communicating your personal statistics. You punch in the data and the web will create your graphic accordingly. One of the cool features is the variety of options for presenting your data (horizontal bars, spark bars, pie, stacked lines, timeline and many more)

ASSIGNMENT 4

Infographic

1) In this session, we'll critique your New York Times responses from last week. Based on class suggestions, you will be expected to improve upon them for next week.

2) Infographics have become an essential and quite interesting graphic form, especially during the last ten years. Data visualization is essentially a new language, that, as designers, we have the power to shape. We'll look at infographics and discuss how they are developed both topically in terms of research and how they are rendered visually. We'll also discuss what topics you might consider for your infographic.

3) For next session, you'll create a data set. Based on your data set, you'll create an infographic that is both informational and beautiful.
