This assignment will ask you to create an infographic to summarize the content of a scholarly journal article. You can use PowerPoint or another graphic design program of your choice.
Step 1: Choose an article from a scholarly journal. Read the article, recording the following key pieces of information as you read:
1-Research question or hypothesis.
2-Participants or data sources.
3-Methods used.
4-Key findings.
5-Limitations or Concerns.
Step 2: Distill this information into brief and concise statements without losing the main points. Think about how this information could be represented visually.
The reader/viewer of your infographic should be able to quickly and easily identify what the study looked at, how it was conducted, and what it found.
Step 3: Include a complete bibliographic citation for the article you chose on the infographic.
Some tips for creating your infographic:
Consider the flow of information. Most people read left to right, top to bottom. Put things in the order you want people to read them (e.g. don’t put Findings at the top).
Use images that relate to your article, and anchor the reader’s attention.
Make all of your headings in the same format (e.g. same font size, boldness, etc.)
Step 4: The file must be in one of the following formats: .pdf, .jpg, .png, .tiff.
