Week 16a Information Graphics Design

Infographics 

An infographic is a form of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to make the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, Infographics are used on a everyday basis by people all over the world. Infographics are in almost any public environment, examples include: traffic signs, subway maps and weather charts.The term infographics originated from Information+Graphics, in French infographie = Informatique+Graphique. In Italy the first occurrence dates back to June 6th 1991 (translated from French) in a piece about Communication Theory by Roberto Escobar. Infographics are used by all levels of management for high-level views of data. Infographics include bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, line charts, tree diagrams and mind maps. Infographics predate writing as a means of presenting information but cave drawings are probably the earliest known unofficial example. People were also creating and using maps before the invention of written language.

TASK 1 - Google Doodle Emily Noether

Read the Google Doodle article about Emily Noether's accomplishments on her 133rd birthday, and write one paragraph describing a challenge that you've had to face in order to achieve a goal.  Compare a specific instance in your life to a difficulty Noether must have been confronted with, and argue why you will also succeed in your pursuits.

A challenge in my life that I faced and overcame is the time I was the only girl in the robotics club. It was hard. The boys treated me funny and never took my thoughts and ideas into consideration when working on our robot. One boy used to always tell me, "Your a girl, you don't know anything about robots." Being in the club made me feel unappreciated, and as if my skills and knowledge were of no use there. As badly as I wanted to be in the club, If it weren't for my best friend, I would have quit the club the week after I started. I didn't want the boys to feel like they had ran me out or they were right so I started building my own robot. My robot started working and looking better than theirs to where the club director made the boys dump their project and use mine. I was also made team captain. It made the other boys so mad but I felt so accomplished. Just like Emily Noether, I over came the troubles of being the only female and being a girl used against me. After this incident I will never let anything stand in my way. I will also succeed in any future pursuits due to the confidence and determination I now posses. I can think back to how I stayed positive in a negative situation and came out successful.
