1) Goal – To understand the statistical information about the Coronavirus in Georgia.

This
infographic will help my school community to understand the way of corona virus goes in Georgia.

2) Audience – It can be anyone who is interested in.

3) Story – When it started, how it is changed and increased, what was the hardest time and the
situation now.

4) Message/hook – protect yourself with social distancing

5) Content – WHO statistics, Georgian NCDC statistics.

6) Visuals – there will be main picture of virus and will be shown masks and doctors as well.

Copy and paste the labels below into a Word or other text document and go from there. You may
write it as detailed as you like, but it's better to be quick and concise. Just make sure your intent in
each section is clear for your peer reviewers. When finished, upload your document in an
appropriate format to be reviewed.

STEPS TO PLANNING YOUR INFOGRAPHIC

Answer the following six questions in the order they appear when planning your infographic.

1. What is your GOAL? (i.e.: What is the purpose of your infographic? Why are you doing it? What
do you hope will come of it?)

2. Who is your AUDIENCE? (i.e.: What is relevant to them? What engages them?)


3. What is your STORY? (i.e.: What is your story form? Cause and effect? Then and now?
Problem/solution? What would you briefly tell someone what your infographic will say?)

4. What is your MESSAGE and HOOK? (If your audience only had time to read the main element in
your infographic, what is the most relevant message you’d like them to walk away with? Is there an
image that can go with it and be the focus of the graphic?)

5. What is your other CONTENT? (List additional data that support your goal.)

6. What are your supporting VISUALS? (How can your data be visualized in the most compelling
and informative way? List and briefly describe them.)

infographic

Submit your assignment soon
Even though your assignment is due on Sep 14, 10:59 AM +04, try to submit it 1 or 2 days early if
you can. Submitting early gives you a better chance of getting the peer reviews you need in time.

1. Instructions
2. My submission
3. Discussions
Sketch a layout of the infographic you planned using the step-by-step worksheet and include the
visual elements listed in the review criteria.

Think of a topic that you feel would be better understood through a combination of of visuals and
text, something that words alone would fail at explaining and but visuals would clarify and illuminate.
The topic you choose for your infographic this week doesn’t have to be the same topic that you will
use when you produce an infographic at the end of the course, but it can be, if you like. People tend
to change their minds as they learn more about the craft of producing infographics.

YOUR INFOGRAPHIC SKETCH:

Your layout may be sectioned off with box shapes (see my video: "How i made an infographic from
start to finish" to see such boxes) and "faked in" elements over the boxed in sections to suggest
what might go there, such as a dummy bar chart with simple bar shapes or a polygon that might
suggest a map. It doesn't have to be very detailed, but it must convey the sense the content and
design to the people reviewing your sketch.

The more detail you can put into it the clearer it will be to reviewers to understand what your plan is.

You may make your “sketch” using a pencil and paper (please make sure you take a sharp,
in-focus photo of it and that any type is clear and legible) or any software you like, such as
Adobe illustrator or InDesign, PowerPoint and the like. Just upload your layout in an
approved format. (pdf, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif)

YOUR INFOGRAPHIC MUST CONTAIN:

 At least three sections (like my melanoma infographic in the “Start to Finish” video.)


 One anchor (dominant) image that draws the eye and it must contain information as
opposed to being purely decorative.
 One chart that would be plotted (as opposed to just a big, typographic number)
 One map (city, area, anything that locates.
 One image or diagram (image can be a drawing or a photo. A diagram might be a timeline,
a mind map, etc.)

Your layout must include these labels:

 A headline
 Section headlines that will give people an understanding of what will go into the different
areas of the graphic.
 Text that explains what goes into the individual elements of your infographic (if you designed
it with boxes, these can just be inside the boxes. Don't just say, "some chart here." :)
 Your layout must be structured with a grid
 The grid doesn't have to be visible to reviewers, but they will be evaluating whether or not
there appears to be an underlying grid structure to your layout.
