The Effect of Facebook on Communication

For this assignment I was asked to create an infographic on the impact a specific social media has on culture. My topic was about the effect that Facebook has on connecting the world. I chose this topic because it really interested me how social media is such an important part in the lives of so many. It keeps people connected with friends and family no matter how far apart they live.
In my infographic I chose the background of cars flashing by because I think that this really symbolizes communication. I felt it was a good fit for my connection based infographic. I also chose to include the growth of Facebook itself over the years because I wanted to show just how much more popular it has become throughout the world. I also decided to choose this format because I thought that it was able to pleasingly portray the seriousness of my topic. I also thought that blue and grey worked really well together. To make the numbers really pop out on the infographic I tried to make it much larger than the text. I feel like these numbers and statistics really enthrall people to figure out what each number represents. These were the decisions I made in creating my infographic.
The thing I found most interesting in this assignment was the ability to make cool and insightful pamphlets pretty quickly. Whenever I want to maybe advertise a business or advocate for an idea I can use this website and create a simple and direct pamphlet that can do the job. This is a great tool that I can definitely use in the future. Another thing I found very interesting was how many different statistics there are on different social medias.
In conclusion this was a good project to learn how to advertise a business or idea. I enjoyed both the designing and researching process.
