Infographic

Overall I really enjoyed this assignment because I got to learn about how to design a infographic, and use Canva. In my infographic I chose Norwester font because it is clear and easy to read. I also chose this font because it is fun and serious at the same time. Norwester font is a nice font because it is not as boring as times new roman or arial fonts. I chose to make the font color white because as I learned in the essential Canva tools tutorial you have to make sure the text color stands out on the template. I decided to use lines to separate each idea to keep my infographic organized and easy to read. I went with a basic layout that matches the layout of my blog so that when inserted into my blog it will look like it belongs there. It is important to not only marry the text to the layout, but also the layout to the blog. I enjoyed this assignment because we were given more creative freedom to design are infographic. I also liked the Canva interface because it was easy to use and fun to use. My favorite part of this assignment was actually creating the infographic because it is interesting to design your own graphic online as oposed to on paper. I think that I can use Canva in the future because of how easy it is to use. I found it interesting that the Canva website had so many free templates, fonts, layouts, and shapes. I think that Cava is a great resource that I am going to use in the future.
