Infographics

Objective:
Share 3 of your favorite infographics with the group and include a brief critique/​writeup underneath each one.

Critique should include the following...

  • quick explanation of what the graphic represents.
  • why you picked this one (ie, what makes it so effective and/​or unique)
  • Constructive criticism (ie- what would make it better, or what may have confused you)
  • How the visual representation of data enhances your understanding of the subject matter.
  • Anything else you’d like to explain

Be sure to cite your work (a simple URL will suffice)

HERE is an example

Ipad Infographic







Source URL: great description of how they actually calculated data too...

I really like this one because it takes a unique look at the price of an iPad. Everyone can relate to at least a few of the items on the list or maybe they will even come up with their own calculation of cost based on their own work. For example, if you broke down your work into an hourly wage, you could then calculate how long it would take you to make the $800 or so purchase price. I also liked the crude drawing. Essentially anyone could make a graphic like this one...
