To continue to appreciate the power of the Dark Side data visualization, during Weeks 10/11 you will be creating and posting two (2) ORIGINAL infographics - ones you've created, not ones you've found on the Internet. Your final infographic assignment will incorporate what you've learned about both accurate and misleading infographics. Why two infographics?

Accurate, Truthful Super Bowl Infographic

Misleading, Devious Super Bowl Infographic
