Infographic Peer Feedback

One of the students I chose to give peer feedback was Amit Israeli. I enjoyed the bar graph of NCYS's impact. I ad no idea what NCYS was but now I know a little bit more about them. Although, here was not a whole lot of change from the templet other than the facts.
  Finally, did I enjoy this project?
I did enjoy this project and I got to learn more about my topic and others that my peers have chosen. I also got to learn how to use piktochart.com

My Infographic

What have you learned about Infographics?  
I learned a lot about infographics, honestly before this assignment I had never heard the word infographic
Did you enjoy creating your own? (please explain).
At first I was worried there was too much to do and then I started working on my infographic after getting my topic and I really wasn't that hard and it was kind of fun:)
When might you use an Infographic in your school work, personal life, or other?  
I would create a infographic if I was advertising
Which Infographic site did you use?  
I used the site called Piktochat
Was the site easy to navigate?
The site was very easy to navigate and even has a tour to help you
Would you use it again or look for another site?

Inforgraphics


What is an infographic? Infographics are visual presentations of information that use the elements of design to display content. Infographics express complex messages to viewers in a way that enhances their comprehension. Infographics use visual elements as coloring coding, graphics, and reference icons; and content elements as time frames, statistics, and references. Infographics have been used throughout history. The first known examples of infographics are hieroglyphics or cave paintings in ancient Egypt 5,000 years ago. There ae also many different types and styles of infographics. For example, there are chronological, quantitative, directional, and product infographics. While making an infographic I is important that you must keep them simple, use lots of color, and make it appeal to the human eye. The purpose of an infographic is to show information and/or data using eye appealing visuals quickly and clearly.

Canva vs. Lucid Press

I personally prefer Lucid Press than Canva because I think I is easier to use and is more trending. I also think Canva has more things that you have to pay for than free features to use but I could be wrong. Although they both give tutorials on how to use the website when you join. Overall I prefer Lucid Press. This is because it is more teen friendly to use, in my perception.

My Dream Business



My dream business would be located in New York. I would hire top clothing designers to create clothing and outfits for my store and get some of the best makeup brands to sell their makeup while I would get 15% of their profits from my store. I would gradually start building more and more of my own Macy stores all over the world. We would also donate $500 t a random organization that profits the people.
