After meeting in class today, I realized the topic I really wanted to pursue was sustainability. I was late to join a group in the first place and after seeing that the sustainability group was starting their infographic over, I decided to join them. For our infographic, we are focusing on food as a subcategory of sustainability. We spent most of our meeting discussing possible topics, designs, etc. After asking for some outside opinions, we decided on an illustrated scene that shows how much energy eating locally can save. We will show statistics on how much energy it takes to ship common foods such as beef, potatoes, and apples and compare them with those same foods produced in places such as Western MA. We've also had to focus on ways to narrow down our topic so our infographic is fairly easy to read and has clear purpose. The purpose of our infographic is to target young adults and educate them about how much energy they would be conserving by habitually eating locally. Today, we will be creating our first draft as well as coming up with an eye catching title.
As you think through your next draft, think through the design decisions through the lens of the reading. What are the choices that you are making? How are they rhetorical? I look forward to seeing your draft.
