Information for my infographic

I have finally found an explanation of the General Theory of Relativity that I actually understand!

Here are some of the facts that I will include in my infographic:

  • Published in 1916 (discovered 1915)
  • Gravity arises from the curvature of space and time
  • The Earth is not pulled towards the sun by gravity
  • 1919 solar eclipse confirmed Einstein’s theory
  • Universe been expanding for 13.7billion years
  • E=MC2 (energy is mass x the speed of light squared)
  • Gravity bends light (gravitational lensing)
  • Speed of light = 186,000 miles per second
  • Time passes slower for fast-moving observers
  • Nothing can escape from a black hole

Grids!

Today in our workshop we looked at the importance of grids and created our own professional magazine layouts using a grid.

Using a grid with any form of design, from shelves to buildings to film posters, makes the design look cleaner, smarter and generally more professional. I will ensure that I use a grid when creating my infographics – I will probably use 3 columns and possibly 6 rows to place my information on.

Here are some screenshots of my magazine that I created in class today:
