VISCOM 204 TAD CARPENTERNOVEMBER 2011

In this assignment we explored different methods and strategies for representing data. Specifically numbers and statistics. We used our classmates to collect the variables of a specified subject of our choice. We looked at things like: what is the best way to visually represent your collected data as a printed poster? How can type be used as an image? How can images speak more directly to your viewers?

INFORMATION GRAPHIC: visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. These graphics complex information quickly and clearly, such as signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education.
