FILIPINO MEDIA-BASED ARTWORK

Activity: STOP, LOOK, AND READ
Directions:
To show appreciation of the Filipino media-based artists and their contributions,
create an infographic about the artists and their works using the guidelines
below. An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that
gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. Since humans are naturally
visual beings, it is better for us to understand and process information in graphic
forms rather than pure texts. Our brain transformed these images and texts into
memorable information.
Here are few tips in making and designing an infographic:
1. Make it simple. Designing an infographic is not to overwhelm it with graphics
and texts rather showing only the important information and illustrations that
convey the message you wanted to deliver.
2. Use universal graphics. Avoid using icons or illustrations that are not familiar
so as not to defeat the very essence of infographic. Your designs should be
understood by everyone.
3. Make it original. Though the internet provides you many ready-made designs
make yours original as much as possible. Use your creativity and ingenuity
without sacrificing the purpose and meaning of your infographic.
Guidelines:
1. Choose at least five artists to feature in your output.
2. Apply the knowledge and skills you have learned from this module about digital
artists and infographic making.
3. This activity requires a smart phone, tablet, personal computer, or laptop. If
you have internet connection, it would be more advantageous since you can use
a free online graphic design platform like Canva.com to improve your output.
4. Submit a printed copy of your infographic.
