Description:
My infographic showcases how sports teams that use Native American names are seen as offensive. I give the viewer some quotes from readers of an article that all agree with how these teams names and mascots offend and flat out insult Native Americans. I then showcase graphs that represent the percentage of voters based on certain questions, relating to the football team "The Redskins", asked to them. For my last bit of information, I refer any viewers of my infographic to the leading organizations responsible for the cause of changing offensive sport team names while also giving a brief description of each.
Michael Argenta and I chose this topic for our infographic debate project because we both believed there would be enough information for us to each argue either side of the main question. Since my partner said he could go either way with the project, I decided to choose the more obvious side of the argument since I believed his capabilities, to search for information that would be slightly harder to find, were greater than my own. My personal opinion about the question at hand, "is it offensive to use Native American names and mascots?", is that I neither agree nor deny with the question. I believe it depends on the team and how they use their aliases makes them offensive or not.
It was slightly difficult to look at only one end of an argument, especially since I agreed with both ends of it. There was also the matter that when I looked for one side of the conversation, I found the other to make one seem stronger, but nonetheless, I found both ends when looking for one.
My Infographic was based on one of the examples I deemed fit for the subject I had chosen with my partner. However, I did adjust it to fit my own standards as well as making it seem balanced, abstract, and colorful. The most difficult parts about making it was making and placing the graphs and the overall system for typing. For the graphs, they never wanted to be the size I wanted them but they came out alright. As for the typing, whenever I tried typing one letter it would delete another, just making the entire process more complicated than it had to be.
I believe the organization and design should lure in and convince any that view my infographic. The overall design I believe is appealing and pleasant to look at, which could definitely improve interest in those reading through it. Through this method, I think that those that observe my infographic will come to the side of it and approve of its method.
