Reflection Letter:

Dear Dr. Hartman, I believe I have covered everything in my info graphic that is required in a very precise manner. For criteria, I covered all the information and key elements through graphs and statistical data. For information, the information present is clear and relevant which speaks to the audience in a simple way. I believe I covered my purpose with this assignments through my pictures and examples of primary data. For my process work, I have included several pictures from my day book to show the development of my info graphic. My day book really helped me with this assignment because I saw visually how to shape my info graphic before I made a digital copy of my work. For rhetorical knowledge, I draw my audience in by adding vivid charts and statistics to make the viewer see what Im talking about. Through the sense of sight I also bring the viewer in by adding a bright yellow background to my info graphic to make the information more interesting and easier to look at. On design/presentation on this working draft, I was creative with the title of my info graphic which will draw people in to read the information being presented. I also focused on visuals such as bullets with statistical data along with different fonts. I think my info graphic is creative and through the creativity it becomes easier for the viewer to understand. All data, cited sources, spelling, and grammar have been checked with accuracy and words are spelled correctly. This was my first time creating an info graphic. I thought it was a very interesting way to write and design. Im not used to this type of writing, I really enjoyed it. Overall, this working draft was fairly easy. The most difficult part was figuring out how to put a primary source into my graphic. Not many people responded to my survey, but as days passed more people began to respond. Receiving feedback from my peers in my group helped me the most. Every comment of

feedback I received I took into consideration which helped me on the design process of making my info graphic. I thought this working draft was the most creative things we have done so far in terms of our writing and I really enjoyed working on it.
