Assignment 1 –Trends
(40% of the course grade)
You are required to produce an infographic that will demonstrate your ability to
identify current trends and analyse the impacts these trends will have on society. The
trends can either be social, cultural or technological. Infographics are mainly used to
convey information through the use of a judicious combination of text (words) and/or
graphic images (symbols or pictures). The infographic must convey its message with
immediacy and purpose. Use the following guidelines to assist you in the design
process.
Guidelines:
1. Chosen Trend: A good starting point is to identify an area of interest or an area
that you think is of concern i.e. recent incidences or activities in the country or
the globe. For example, current technological trends, wearable technology,
autonomous vehicles, social media, health problems, travel. Once you have
decided on a topic start collecting data and materials that can support your topic
and help you identify the current trend. Clearly define the trend you have chosen
to explore, explaining its significance. Provide data, statistics, graphics to
showcase the identified trend. (15 marks)
2. Societal Impacts: Identify the postulated impacts the identified trend will have
on society or is currently having. (15 marks)
3. Design: The Infographic should be both informative and attractive therefore
appropriate design and planning is essential. A good blend of images or graphics
and text is highly recommended. There is no word limit but it has to have enough
information in it to get you good marks. (5 marks)
4. Referencing: You must acknowledge all sources of information that you have
used. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. This should be page 2 of the infographic.
