EXERCISE 6

  • Using a search engine, search for “infographics college tuition.” Find two infographics that present information on similar topics, such as tuition costs for public and private colleges and universities, average tuition costs in each of the fifty states, or the relationship between tuition costs and future earnings potential. Write a 1,000-word memo to your instructor in which you identify the audience and purpose of the infographics and compare and contrast them using such criteria as audience, purpose, clarity, visual appeal, use of different types of graphics, and citation of the data sources. Which infographic do you think is better? Why?
