For this assignment, you are required to create an infographic using the software of your preference (e.g. PowerPoint, InDesign, Photoshop, and Online infographic software, like canva.com). An Infographic presents information in a graphic, visually attractive format and aims to make data easily understandable at a glance. A well-designed infographic can help you simplify a complicated subject or turn an otherwise boring subject into a captivating experience. We will discuss best practices in class and will provide you with resources.

Part 1: Topic
First, you need to select a topic for your IG and argue why discussing this topic is timely (why this topic at this time). Also specify the age group that is most important for this topic, using information about their developmental characteristics to substantiate your claim.  In part 1 all your claims should be supported with references; the information you present in part 1 will likely come from one or more of your selected articles.

Length: ca. 500 words

Part 2: Info-graphic Audience
Second, you need to define the audience for whom you are creating your IG (e.g., teachers, clinicians, youth, app developers) and clearly formulate the question that is addressed in your IG. Describe why the information is especially important for the audience you have selected.
In part 2 you also need to describe the most important takeaways for your reader – thus the audience of your choice.  Your IG should include at least 3 interesting takeaways. These takeaways are of course based on your selected academic articles. Similar to Part 1, you need to make sure it is clear to the reader which references belong to which take-away points.
Length: ca. 500 words

Part 3: Annotated Reference List
Third, include an annotated reference list. This means that you are expected to write an annotation for three of your selected peer-reviewed academic articles. Note that a peer-reviewed article is NOT a book chapter.
