For this project we have to create our very own infographic dashboard based on a week in our lives. It has to be interactive, be aligned correctly and readable.

Infographics, what are they and why do we need them?

Infographics are visual representations of data, information, or knowledge that combine text, images, and graphics to convey complex ideas in a simple, clear, and engaging way. They are often used to simplify large amounts of data or statistics and present them in a visually appealing and easy-to-understand format.

Infographics are used in various contexts, such as in educational materials, scientific research, marketing, journalism, and social media. They are particularly effective in communicating complex information quickly and easily, and can help readers to better understand and remember the information being presented.

Below are a list of different types of infographics that are commonly used to present data and information in a visually appealing and engaging way:

• Timeline Infographics
• Process Infographics
• Comparison Infographics
• Geographical Infographics
• Hierarchical Infographics
• List Infographics
• Flowchart Infographics
• Interactive Infographics

Data collection

I decided to begin with my screen time and took notes on how long i used each app. By far instagram was my most used app. In a average week I spend nearly a whole day looking at social media which is quite worrying.

Apple also have a great option to track your sleeping pattern, I really like the use of this graph and would like to use it in my visual data design.

Now Looking into my instagram insights I then could see in more detail who follows me from what country and the age range that views my content. I looked into this as I wanted a better idea how to create a graph visually as its something Ive never looked at before.
