Background
An infographic (Information Graphic) is a visual representation of information. It is a modern new way to relate information to today's advertising. Rather than reading an article on recycling, an infographic could be used in its place. Websites like http://infogr.am/ will allow you to make infographics, but they are not as innovative as ones designed by professional designers.

Your assignment is to create an infographic about a daily routine for YOU. 

Steps

5. Sketch your design on a piece of paper
6. Make a mood board on your iPad. Pass in and show me.
