Artist Statement:

For this unit 3 project I will be doing an infographic on my research topic which is about the safety of autonomous vehicles. I choose this genre because it would be another way to quickly present my audience which are Cuny students a more detailed way to learn the main points of what my research paper talks about. It also gives them an easier and quicker way to understand or visualize the information given more clearly with the fact that there will be pictures, graphs, charts, and diagrams. As for the design of the infographic I plan to have a design that would be engaging to the readers eyes that they would want to continue to read more.

So far what I have been doing is looking at examples of template based on my research topic and searching for ideas on how I am going to set up the infographic. Other than that, I have been just looking through some of my sources and just browsing for sources with more statistics for information to input into the infographic.

The main point of this unit 3 project is to inform others about how unsafe autonomous vehicles are with their pros and cons. I chose this genre to make this point because it would be an easier way to reach Cuny students by presenting them information with visuals and data that would be appealing to them on a topic that some of them would be interested about. Those students who do own an autonomous vehicle would also be interested because they can learn more about their own vehicles and it can show them another perspective and deeper thinking about the product.

In this process what I have learned is how to maneuver through the Canva website. It’s an easy website to use to create these presentations and using different genres to show your creativity on informing others or just creating something for yourself. Another thing that I learn in the process of this project is that there’s always going to be more information that you never got to explore until you do more research. I hope that my audience learn more than they already know about autonomous vehicles and that it makes them want to do more research for themselves and inform others about what they’ve learn.
