Week 5
Assignment: Create an information Graphic about Abraham Lincoln.
Craft: The graphic was made using Adobe Illustrator, and printed on paper.
Composition: I wanted to keep the graphic simple, yet still convey the information effectively. I showed how much time Lincoln spent in each state by scaling the states according to the total number of years he spent in each. Also, I put in text the exact number of years, and cities in which Lincoln lived in each state.
Concept: The concept behind this graphic is the more time Lincoln spent in the state, the larger it would be in the picture. The hat icons mark the approximate location of the cities Lincoln lived in.
