2. Meta-Chart www.meta-chart.com is a free app that allows you to design and communicate information visually. www.meta-chart.com The program offers a wide range of graphing options such as scatter plots, bar graphs, and area charts.

3. Step 1 The first step in the meta-chart process is selecting the type of visual you would like to use. For the purpose of this assignment, we chose to use a pie chart to display our group’s media consumption.

4. Step 2 The second step allows you to alter the design of the graph. Background colors, font size, and 3 dimensional effects are chosen and added during this step.

5. Step 3 The third step also happens to be the most important, this is when the actual data is inputted. The site allows you to designate the amount of “slices” needed to complete the graph, and enter the necessary figures for each.

6. Step 4 The fourth step is needed to add any final touches to the graph. And changes as far as color and font can and should be changed at this point.

7. Step 5 The fifth and final step of meta-chart is the end result and display of the graph that was created. It is during this step that the visual is saved, downloaded, and able to be shared.
