Making an infographic

  1. Using PosterMyWall.com OR CANVA, make a HORIZONTAL infographic of your orator. 
  2. Using the videos and reading curated for your orator here at the website, collect important biographical data about your orator. Do NOT use AI. Google search is fine, but be sure to pay attention to the sources of the AI summaries now created.  What is significant about the orator's childhood/youth/family and why? What tragedies and/or challenges did they face?
  3. Find at least two images of your orator: one should be your fave photo of them; another should show their social/historical/political world.  Make sure you keep track of the image sources and put that on your infographic too.
  4. Using your chosen images or the vibe you are going for, decide on a color/theme of your infographic. NO CARTOONISH stuff and NO white space!
  5. Find birthdate, place, and death information for your orator. Include that on your infographic in an eye-catching way.
  6. Name at least three important dates, events, and/or key accomplishments for your orator. Include that on your infographic in an eye-catching way.
  7. CHECK YOUR SPELLINGS! NO TYPOS!​
  8. Next week, you will post your infographic to your group website.  You can still edit and revise your piece.
TIPS
If working in CANVA, INFOGRAPHIC RESUME works best because it is horizontal. INFOGRAPHIC POSTER also works.  Avoid the long, slender infographic templates as these won't transfer well to your website.

Log into your account. Use your TCU premium version. If you click on CREATE and type in "infographic" at create a design, you will see the RESUME and POSTER template options there.
If working in POSTERMYWALL, you can type in infographic in the box called "SEARCH A TEMPLATE." 

Better still, click CREATE and choose BLANK DESIGN and you can really be creative. Be sure to select FLYER. Decide if you prefer vertical or horizontal. Both will work on the website.
