Here’s my final infographic:
(I inserted the image of the infographic because after several tries at using a link, it wouldn’t work. The quality of the actual graphic is much better but I can’t upload it any better than you see above.)
Changes I made and why:
I feel like I followed through with my initial goals for the infographic, and I am happy with my outcome. I mainly revised the text and layout to make sure there was not too much information while still including enough to clearly communicate the facts and get the points across. I also wanted the visuals to help support the information rather than relying on large chunks of text.
As part of my own testing, I practiced some of the activities I recommended in the infographic. Specifically being creative and spending time with friends. I found these activities more rewarding than spending time on my phone and felt like I wasted less of my day. This also helped me feel more confident that the solutions I included were actually practical and effective.
