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.
