I Attached My Infographic and the rubric for the Infographic. Bellow is the Instructor Feedback and the changes that need to be made.
Please see my suggestions below:
Topic & Originality
The topic (global refugee crises caused by war ) is relevant and meaningful, and the title Forced to Flee is engaging. However, the infographic remains very broad, covering multiple aspects (causes, impacts, statistics, actions) without a sharply defined focus. This makes it feel more like a general overview than a targeted argument. To strengthen originality, narrow the scope, for example, focus specifically on causes of displacement, living conditions in camps, or barriers to resettlement. A more focused lens would make the infographic more impactful.
Research Integrity & Credibility
The infographic includes multiple statistics and references organizations like UNHCR and UNICEF, which are credible. However:
- Many statistics are not clearly cited in-text
- Charts (bar graph, pie chart) are included but lack clear source labels and dates
- Some claims appear generalized without attribution
To improve:
- Add in-text citations next to every statistic (e.g., (UNHCR, 2024))
- Clearly label each chart with its source
- Ensure all claims are verifiable and traceable
Source Integration / Clarity Without Clutter
This infographic does include a sources section at the bottom, which is a strength. However, source integration throughout the infographic is still weak because:
- Sources are not connected to specific data points
- Viewers cannot easily tell which source supports which claim
To fix this:
- Add small, abbreviated citations next to statistics and charts
- Keep the bottom sources list, but ensure it matches the in-text references
This will improve clarity without adding clutter.
Information Design & Conciseness
This is the main area needing improvement. The infographic is too text-heavy, making it difficult to scan quickly.
Issues include:
- Long paragraphs under multiple sections
- Too many bullet points grouped together
- Key statistics not visually emphasized
To improve:
- Break content into short, clear bullet points
- Reduce the amount of text in each section
- Highlight key data (e.g., numbers, percentages) so they stand out
Right now, the infographic requires too much reading for a visual format.
Logical Flow & Organization
The infographic follows a general structure:
What is happening causes impact what you can do sources
This is logical, but the execution feels crowded and slightly overwhelming due to the amount of content. Transitions between sections are not always clear, and some sections blend together visually.
To improve:
- Use clearer section headings
- Reduce the number of ideas per section
- Create more visual separation between sections
Visual Design & Typography
The design has a consistent theme (vintage/map-style border), which is visually interesting. However:
- The layout feels crowded and dense
- Font sizes are small in several sections, reducing readability
- Decorative elements (borders, textures) take up space without adding informational value
The charts and images are relevant, but the overall design prioritizes aesthetic over clarity. More spacing and simpler layout would improve usability.
Color & Tone Appropriateness
The muted, earthy color palette is appropriate for the topic and maintains a serious tone. However, there is limited contrast, which makes some text harder to read. Adding slightly stronger contrast or a subtle accent color for key statistics would improve readability.
Call to Action (Specific, Action-Driven, and Linked)
The infographic includes a What You Can Do section, which is good, but it remains too general and not fully actionable. Suggestions like donate, support policies, and spread awareness are not paired with direct links or clear instructions.
To improve:
- Add specific actions + direct links
- Clearly connect actions to organizations
For example:
- Donate to UNHCR: unhcr.org/donate
- Support UNICEF programs: unicef.org/donate
- Learn more and take action: reliefweb.int
If viewers cannot immediately act without searching, the call to action is incomplete.
Specific Improvements Within Current Work
- Add in-text citations next to all statistics and charts
- Reduce text density and simplify sections
- Increase emphasis on key statistics
- Improve spacing and reduce visual clutter
- Add clear labels for charts
- Strengthen call to action with specific steps + links
This infographic is informative and well-researched with a consistent visual theme, but it is currently too dense and lacks clear source integration and actionable clarity. Simplifying the content, improving citation visibility, and strengthening the call to action will significantly enhance its effectiveness.
