WEEK 9: CURATOR FARMER.

Hello everyone!!

We're almost at the end of the course and this was our penultimate task, we had to create an infographic, and I have to say that I am quite proud of how everyone worked in this project, we hope that you liked and learnt through it! It wasn't easy and we paid a lot of attention to every detail and it was the most similar thing to a craftsmanship. 

These sources have been organised alphabetically, we made a research to obtain data about how significant the impact of technology is in Spanish education to make our conclusion more enriching, adding data and figures which were a very important tool to make our infographic more appealing to our readers. 

Along this article we found the ideal information to put the icing on the cake:

Blinklearning. (2018, November 13). IV Estudio sobre el uso de la tecnología en la educación. Retrieved April 24, 2020, from https://www.realinfluencers.es/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ivestudio-tic-2018-españa.pdf . 

Moreover, we use Canva application to portray in the most efficient manner our design and ideas:

Canva (Versión canva design) [Software]. (2020). Retrieved from https://www.canva.com.

And here you can see the result:

Eight plus half. (2020, April 28). Is that Steve Jobs or a teacher?. Retrieved April 29, 2020, from  https://www.canva.com/design/DAD6kvQrG8g/JWCx7FR5GVAAb-en-Jphcw/view?utm_content=DAD6kvQrG8g&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton. 

As for the information and theoretical tenets shown throughout the body of our infographic, we made use of this article:

Esteve, F., Castañeda, L., & Adell, J. (2018). A Holistic Model of Teaching Competence for the Digital World. REVISTA INTERUNIVERSITARIA DE FORMACIÓN DEL PROFESORADO-REIFOP, (91), 105-116. 

However, to start doing an infographic as such we read several guides, this is one of them where creativity is fostered:

García Espínola, M. (2019, June 14). Infografía, 8 habilidades creativas debes aprender. Retrieved April 25, 2020, from https://www.paredro.com/infografia-8-habilidades-creativas-debes-aprender/ .

These are the two photographs that we used in our infographic and the rest of them are from the own application, from Canva:

New York Skyline silhouette. (n.d.). [Photograph]. Retrieved from https://www.clipart.email/download/12011136.html . 

And finally, these are a website and a video where we got inspiration from and I created a checklist to follow based on these two sources:

Visme. (2017, October 17). How to Create an Infographic - Part4: How to Design Your Infographic [Video file]. YouTube. Retrieved from https://youtu.be/4EwDNokZvCE .

Pavlova, I. (2019, April 29). How to Make an Engaging Infographic: The Full Guide. Retrieved April 25, 2019, from https://graphicmama.com/blog/how-to-make-an-engaging-infographic/ .

This is our checklist to make an infographic:

(free travel icons)

Checking list:

1. Catchy title.
2. Header, body and footer.
3. Header: title, subtitles and your introduction.
4. Body: different steps, rough sketches or illustrations or symbols, then a different block with graphs, then figures, data...
5. Visual metaphors and symbols.
6. Deciding on a visual theme. Bees, orange. COLOURS ARE IMPORTANT. Adobe color cc coolers, palatine. No more than 3 colours. 60% of one colour then 30% of the second colour and just a 10% of the third colour (accent)
7. KEEP IT SIMPLE. BE CONCISE.
8. Choosing font combinations. Serif font - Sans serif fonts
9. Script - Sans serif fonts, Lobster - lato, Rokkit-ubuntu, . Distinct fonts with neutral ones.
10. Achieve contrast and visual hierarchy.
11. ICONS are really important, replace names and titles with icons.
12. Stick with one icon style!
13. Pair icons with fonts and colour palette.

I hope you find these sources useful and we will see you in our last week's task,

Verónica.
