Exercise

Find an example of an infographic that is trying to explain science. Please include a link to the infographic in your answers or paste a copy.

How is the infographic used? As part of a story or as a stand-alone diagram? How well do you think it explains something scientific and complex compared to just using words? How could it be improved? Does it evoke any emotions in the reader/viewer of the infographic? If so, how does it do this?

Exercise

Find a science article or news story that currently does not have an infographic, but which would benefit from having one. Draw up a rough outline of an infographic that could be used with or instead of this article/story. Explain why you think this infographic would be useful to the readers.
