An infographic is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make data easy to understand at a glance. People and organisations use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time.

In this assessment task, you will be required to produce two infographics (information graphic) that presents key elements from your learning. You will need to select 1 (one) case study from the 'Supplementary Resources' tile to focus your research and analysis. The person described in the case study is your intended audience for your infographics.

Case Study - Amira

The two infographics (Infographic A and Infographic B) together are worth 35% of your final grade Inforgraphic 2A (the first infographic) is worth 10% and the second infographic, 2B, is worth 25%.

The two infographics together, are 1500-word equivalent submissions, or 750 word-equivalent each, even though they are weighted differently. Examples have been provided on the following pages as to what this may look like.

It may be best to place your Reference List in a separate document from your Infographic. In - text citations within your Infographic are required. Please submit your infographics as a PDF document.

Remember, infographics use diagrams, pictures and symbols to convey information. In relation to words, less is more! Written words should be kept to a minimum. Minimal words should complement the graphics.

All infographic A submissions will be uploaded into a shared folder on LMS once marks have been finalised. If you wish for your Infographic to NOT be shared with your peers, please email me directly. This is an OPT-OUT process. It will be assumed that those who do not contact me agree to have their work shared. This is a great opportunity to see how your peers have approached this task. If you would rather remain anonymous, please be sure not to include your name on your infographic or in the file name.
