SO, YOU HAVE INFORMATION FOR AN ARTICLE Look over your planner and see if there is anything missing… If you do, find the information because… YOU’RE GOING TO BREAK THIS STORY WIDE OPEN!

DATA VISUALIZATION Now that you have all this information, there are a couple of ways to handle it: Write a story Create an infographic that helps piece all of your information together Remember what we learned about designing infographics? Useful information + Good design = AWESOME GRAPHIC

DECIDING WHAT TYPE OF GRAPHIC Look at your information… Ask yourself these questions: Is it relational? Does it show how things work together? Is it chronological? Is it more of a step-by-step collection of facts? Is it comparative? Do you compare one or two things? Is it more of a how-to or a story? Could you make a diagram?

NOW ASK YOURSELF THE BASIC QUESTIONS: 1. Audience: Who is your audience? What would appeal to them? What would engage them? 2. Hierarchy of facts: What is the most important fact and how can I portray that? 3. Design: How can it keep the graphic interesting but not too complex?
