For my\u00a0Critical Thinking and Writing class we wrote a 2000-2500 word research paper on a topic of our choice. I chose to research women athletic directors. Now we are transitioning to a new project . The main stipulation is that the project is multimodal. So it could be a video, an infographic, a screencast, or an image with text overlaid. Essentially the message in your paper, or a blogpost. We must carefully design our project to target our\u00a0specific audience and convey our specific message.<\/p>\n

I immediately started to\u00a0research infographics. I knew that the research I had compiled on the shortage of women athletic directors would lend itself to graphs and statistics. Through infographics I hope to be able to bring light to the subject. It is rarely discussed in the media how few women are in leadership, so I feel that it is important to draw attention to it.<\/p>\n

This is the first panel of my infographic. I have only just started so I will be adding at least a handful more panels. When I have finished the entire thing, I hope to post it as a blog and discuss\u00a0the process of creating it. But, for now I just wanted to give you a sneak-peek\u00a0of what is to come.<\/p>\n

Sidenote: I highly recommend Piktochart <\/a>( the software the\u00a0above graphic was created on). Not only is it free, but the interface is very\u00a0user-friendly. You can\u00a0easily just go on their website to play around, even when\u00a0you don’t have a specific project in mind.<\/p>\n
