It is critically important to know WHY you are using the illustration.What information are you trying to get across to your reader? What do you want your reader to either do, or understand after having viewed your illustration?
This exercise is intended to assess your skill at creating an illustration clearly and ethically.
Your assignment must include the following elements:
- A brief summary of the data you chose as the basis of your illustration. Refer to the sample illustrations in Chapter 6 to get some ideas of the different types of data that can be illustrated.

And….
- The illustration (chart/graph/table) you've created.
