Final Exercise of the whole lesson

Assignment name and description

To recapitulate the progress of the day: you learnt what Infographic field is, what is its purpose and some platforms that allow you to use their infographic visuals for free of charge. 

After that, you found your subject, maybe the same as the previous lesson, but with a more specific approach. You defined your audience and took note of the mistakes to avoid during the next in the process. 

And finally, you threw yourself in the beginning of the concrete process : you have pursued your Research, maybe starting at the point where you stopped the previous time – or not -, but in orienting it in your new road, in respecting nomenclature. 

And afterwards, you gathered datas and converted them into graphics. 

You have progressed well, and the next part of the process will be the most interesting, because you will get away from theory to really throw in practical work, in application with what you have learnt until here. 

In the next course, you will reach two other landings of the spiral staircase; and the last of them will be the space behind the clouds, this space you are unable to see right now. 

You will write your story and play with your creativity, in order to finally produce your Data Story-telling.

Final excercise

But, before pursuing the learning process during the next course, you are going to do the last excerscises.

You´ll have to do the following:

Exercise 1: Define some keywords in your future Storytelling: the important points that you want to emphasize, according to your datas already gathered. 

Exercise 2: Think about a story you would like to relate, through your Research and these datas. Outline first ideas, main lines. For this point, you will have a video to watch and an article to read, both of them as an example of how it is possible to really relate a story from a very concrete subject with datas : a subject that at first glance, is boring with tiresome statistics. But thanks to Infographic, it is possible to transform any of them in an entertaining and attractive way.
