Making an infographic
Step 1. Start this Quest by playing the Canva video below. ("How to Make an Infographic")
Step 2. If you do not already have a Canva account (or use an alternate site below), create one to design an infographic that presents your message simply, creatively, and visually.
Step 3. Your goal is to create an infographic using one of the application tools listed in the Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Media Table (or an alternate you identify with your teacher).
Step 4. Refer to your Plan & Create document and the supporting details you will address. Writing a script, storyboard, or drawing a draft of your ideas may be helpful.
Step 5. Ask yourself if creating an infographic is the best media choice for your message. Reflect realistically about how much time you have to work on it. Please keep it to three minutes or less to keep your audience's attention.
Step 6. Play and explore the software tool until you are comfortable enough to begin creating and editing your video. Note: Save your work frequently as you work.
Step 7. Show your idea and infographic to another classmate or your teacher to make sure it communicates your message. You may decide this tool is not the best choice for this project plan. You can look at the other media applications.
Step 8. When done, download or copy the link provided to share it with your teacher.
