ASSIGNMENT #2

We are making an info. graphic.
In order to create one you should follow these steps:
1. Pick a subject (can be anything that comes to your head).
2. Do a research on the selected topic, gather data that you can later lay out.
Ex. you can send out a survey via surveymonkey.com which is completely anonymous. You can ask up to 10 questions and get Yes and No answers or you can have people answer in complete sentences, up to you).
3. Develop a set of icons that would represent your data.
4. Pick your colors.
5. Pick your layout, set up, organization of data.

I just did a very similar assignment and used a great web survey site called WebSurveyMaster http://www.websurveymaster.com/
It was very easy to use, created a great professional looking survey, and the results analysis tools were fantastic.
Hope this helps!
