What: This infographic is intellectually stimulating mostly because of the statistic it gives in the beginning to create interest. It’s relevant to the audience because of the sorts of information it gives- it is fairly simplistic and chooses to include specific products that normal people would not know whether could be composted. It’s creative not in the info but rather in the design- the colors and sections are nice to look at and easy to read.
Gut: This infographic makes the reader feel happy- the front is super flowery and pretty. I was surprised at some of the things it said could/ couldn’t be composted (like horse manure, meat scraps, and certain types of lumber.
So What: I hadn’t thought of all of the things that could be composted or the amount of residential waste that is biodegradable- I definitely thought it would be less. The creator was hoping the reader would get that perspective- that it’s not hard but would make a big difference. I don’t know what kind of sources they used, but I’m guessing basic searches online. We could find this data during class by listing what is important to know then googling those facts.
Now What: They haven’t considered how to compost at all. To people that do it, it does seem like a simple process and it would be hard to fit all of this information on a small infographic. We can try to either create separate infographics or make one with very basic information on it and possibly a link to all of the other important info to read over.
Really like the visuals on your infographic. Loved the extensive lists of what to put and what not to put in the compost
The main message of this infographic was potrayed very well — this infogrpahic showed everything one needed to know about what to compost. The readbility and over all appeal was good. The purpose seems to get people to compost and the way the do and donts were shown makes composting easy. I do think it would be nice if the infograpic has steps on the entire composting process. I don’t think anything should be completely cut but the do and donts can be made more concise.
