Lecture
Guest Lecture
We are very fortunate to have a Allison Mayle, from the Cold Spring Harbor DNA Learning center join us between 2:30PM-4PM and give us a better understanding of DNA Barcoding. She also manages the Urban Barcode Research Program there. She will also be available to answer questions you may have related to our work this semester.
Watch
This (slightly cheesey) video, intended for non-designers, has some useful tips for how to think through gathering and organizing your Info Graphic. You can learn more by visiting their website: Venngage tips on ‘How to Make an Infographic‘ This company provides templates for people that want a simple info-graphic. We are NOT using their templates. But they can help to inform yours.
(And keep in mind, the best info-graphics are created by true graphic designers)
Homework
Assignment
- By Thursday 3/19 Post all of your sketches to the TWO PLACES I have requested you to do so (see the top of this post under ‘DUE’)
- By Monday 3/21 view all the sketches that have been posted (to Post Your Work) and choose one student and provide them with constructive feedback based on what they are showing. If someone has already provided feedback feel free to add your thoughts, but I would like each of you to also choose one student who has not yet received any feedback. (Since we are no longer meeting in person, I would like us to begin to facilitate the in-class critiques in this way.)
- By Monday 3/21 develop concept and refine sketches (charts and graphs). Begin to draft your InfoGraphic in InDesign. Aim to have a solid first draft ready for show.
