WEEK 4

ASSIGNMENT: Present three versions of the compiled information on Abraham Lincoln. 

 1. My first representation consisted of compiled quotes on Lincoln; that I laid out on a photograph of pennies scattered in no particular order. I was not happy with the lay out I was not that familiar with the software, but with help from my instructor I was able to come up with a better solution in my final poster. The group critique feed back also helped in my final information graph. 

2. My second info graph was using the same quotes on Abraham this time I used and image of a penny that I googled and used that as my image in the center of my page using colors of green and copper surrounded my image with the quotes of on Lincoln again I was not happy, but group critique helps tremendously and I was able to see place of improvement.

3. My final version was of a graph using the letters of the subject quote on the left side of my graph and using number line across the lower part of the page. in colors of black for my font and white for my background. I eventually will be changing my final layout.
