Assignment:
Looking back over the materials and inspirations emanating from this course, create an information-graphic, aka infographic, that shares some aspect of your understandings about artistic development. An infographic is a graphic visual representation of information, experiences, events, phenomena, sites, data, or knowledge. Infographics are a great way to convey complex, multifaceted information creatively and quickly. Infographics contain both texts and images. They are often colorful, content-dense, and designed for visual impact. Scientists, designers, marketing firms, city planners, mapmakers, journalists, artists, and educators all create and use infographics.
My Comments:
I've done several infographics in the past year and really enjoy the medium. It can appear a little shallow at times so for this go around I am starting earlier. I have been giving the assignment some thought over the pass two weeks. The main problem with our intensive classes it that you really have to be able to make quick decisions - couple that with the graphic/artistic nature of the project and it can be really time consuming and either the graphics are quite perfect or the content isn't quite right. I intend to have a little extra time to polish this one. Sometimes these creative/graphic output projects create a more "studio" based class environment than was planned for or expected. But I love the work.
