I used the research techniques that I had acquired in the last task, to find out different types of printing and write up about each technique.

I then started on designing my own Inforgraphic based on the research that I have acquired, using Photoshop I completed my Inforgraphic.

Inforgraphic

For this task we was put into a groups by the tutor, we researched inforgraphics to find out what they are and what they are used for. In our groups we created mindmaps on our research of production and its subsidary parts, this was given to our group by our tutor.

After making the mindmap, we was asked to design our own inforgraphics by using the mindmap as a guide, we got images to support each paragraph explaining specific part of production i.e. an image of money to represent finance.

we then in our groups, started on the design of an infographic with the information from the mindmap, we used Adobe Photoshop and each took turns to input ideas and design the infographic.

From this I learnt more about inforgraphics and how to create one, when it comes to designing an induvidual one for my assignment.

We then wrote a report on the definitions of primary, secodnary, quantitative and qualitative aswell as the purposes and where they would be used with clear examples.
