• My infographic is not text-heavy.

Data Representations

• All my graphs, charts, and data visualizations have labeled axes and relevant titles and make sense on their own outside the context of my infographic.
• The units (kilograms, milligrams, centimeters, meters, per 10,000 people, average, percent, count) are correct and visible on my graphs, charts, and data visualizations.
• Every data representation makes sense, is necessary, and fully supports my claim.
• The data trends are clearly visible without having to make assumptions.
• The type of graph, chart, and data visualization I used clearly presents the data relationship that supports my claim.

Design

• The layout of the text and visual elements directs the eyes in a logical path of revealing support for my claim.
• The fonts used are legible (not stylized), and readable from 5 feet away (when printed).
• The colors are appropriate for the topic, and graphics are not used as decorations.
