W6: Infographics & Topic Brainstorming
Do you have any experience with infographics? Have you used them or made them before?
Find 2-3 online resources that help you better understand what an infographic is. These can be articles, examples of infographics, tutorials, videos, etc. Post links to the resources (make sure the links are clickable!). Explain what you found useful about this resource or example.
Identify 3-5 possible concepts related to your major, career, and/or hobbies you have that you could define in this project. For each concept, identify why you think this concept is worth focusing on. Is it confusing or complex? Is it used often? Is it a new concept? You don’t have to choose your concept yet, but having concepts in mind as you move into the next activities will be useful.
