Social Media Usage Survey
Update to Social Media Usage Survey and Infographic
Wow, I was so excited to see that so many people participated in my survey regarding social media sites. Thank you to all my followers who responded to my survey.
I used an excellent infographic website, Canva, to summarize the data I collected in an eye-catching way. It was so easy! Canva provides a wide selection of free templates and layouts, you just need to choose the layout that best suits your needs then input the information you want to share.
I chose to use the "Donation Charity" template because I liked the colors, fonts, and layout. Rather than use a graph to display the data from my survey, I chose to summarize it more informally. I wanted to explore the reasons most people use social media, but I lack experience in survey design, so I think my results were a little skewed, at least in a scientific, empirical sense. I also used the free version of Survey Monkey, which lacks some of the disaggregation capabilities the pro version provides. But for the purpose of this task, I think I gained some valuable experience. Here's the final product.
Last semester I used Wix.com to create a website for both of my grad school courses and it was surprisingly easy. My experience using Canva was very similar to creating my website on Wix. There are an abundance of free templates and layouts available. You can create customized announcements, presentations, menus, flyers, invitations, blog graphics, banners, ads and more. The company also provides many resources for design professionals and novices alike, as well as an online design school with an interactive online design course, teacher lesson plans, and free tutorials intended to "increase the world's visual literacy".

For myself, I think Canva's ease of usability and eye-catching designs make it a premier infographic tool. I highly recommend it for those new to online design like myself.
I also love Canva. I use it more for posters, invitations, and social media posts, but I can now see where it might be used in other ways.
