Without reiterating the
entirety of my essay on the infographic I designed, I’d like to briefly outline
the process. I started with Rheingold’s practice of mindfulness for training
our attention. I’ve written about that previously, which you can read about here.
To start, I read and reread
the portions on mindfulness and meditation in Chapter 1 of “Net Smart: How To
Thrive Online” by Howard Rheingold. I used a notebook to jot down some notes on
topics and methods Rheingold brings up in these sections. He doesn’t offer step-by-step
instructions on how to meditate, so I synthesized the key points he made on
meditation and mindfulness and attempted to arrange them into steps.
After taking notes on the
contents of the infographic, I made a wireframe for the design. This was
several lines arranged into boxes with a placeholder title. The longer
rectangular boxes are placeholders for text and the boxes with the Xs inside are
placeholders for images.
