Infographic Poster

My infographic required a lot of research. I had many statistics to back up my claims, as well as to inform the viewer as to how much energy, both renewable and nonrenewable, the US uses. The easiest part was doing the research and collecting the facts, while the most difficult aspect was designing the actual poster.

I created my poster this term. I started from scratch, and did all my research and design in a couple of days.

Infographic Design

Idea- I have quite a few ideas for the layout and design for my capstone picture, and I have decided that my poster will focus on the energy we can save by recovering waste heat, and the multiple technologies that exist to recover that waste heat. I am planning to use a orange, red, and white color scheme, as my project deals with energy.

Skeleton:



-Global Energy Consumption (organized by country)

• X BTU
• X BTU
• X BTU
• X  BTU

-US Energy Consumption

• X amount by nuclear
• X amount by wind
• X amount by coal
• X amount by natural gas
• X amount by solar

-Amount of energy that is "wasted" in terms of heat:

(accompanied by graphics)

-Ways to recover the wasted heat

• heat pumps
• heat exchange systems
• thermoelectric generators
• piezoelectric generators
