Artifact Description
- What is the requirement for this assignment?
- We were to create an infographic about the purpose of digital curation as one of our first assignments in the INSC 532 Digital Curation course.
- What did you do? Explain your work.
- I was responsible for adding both content and the visual elements of this infographic. I selected the template, the graphic at the top, and the icons used in each row. I set the color scheme and ensured that the fonts and sizing were consistent across each row. I created the content for the third row down, “Why Do We Need It?” as well as reviewing my peer’s work for grammar and spelling. I made the second page, our works cited, as well.
- What was your role – group or individual?
- This was a group assignment. Although we did not formally have a leader, another group mate and myself coordinated our meetings and submitted each assignment we completed as a group.
- What skills and competencies does this example showcase?
- Graphic design, Canva, digital curation, information literacy
