DM110 Graphic Design: Capstone Project Part 3

Capstone Project Overview

The job of a Graphic Designer is not only to create something that is visually beautiful but also to make sure that the message in the design is well communicated. 

For our Capstone project, we will be creating an Infographic. An infographic is a visual image used to represent information or data. The title of our infographic is “HELP STOP CORONAVIRUS” and we will be creating it using Canva.com. 

Note: If you are comfortable with any external design software and have access to it, please feel free to use it. 

Your final infographic must have the following information and must be designed on a standard US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches): 

HEADLINE: HELP STOP CORONAVIRUS

CONTENT: 

· WASH YOUR HANDS: Make sure to wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place.

· COVER YOUR MOUTH: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.

· DON’T TOUCH FACE: Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, especially if you are in a public place.

· KEEP SAFE DISTANCE: Maintain physical distancing by staying at least six feet away from other people as it lessens your chances of catching COVID-19.

· STAY AT HOME: Do not go out unless it is absolutely necessary. Socially distance yourself to avoid spreading the disease in your community. 

Feel free to add more content if you find that it will help make your design better.
