The Content Challenge is for Media, Radio and Journalism students to make media content when you have finished class exercises and assessments and want more to do.
You can make all of this content at home – easy! The challenges can be completed by you or in collaboration with someone else (fellow student or not).
The Challenge is 100% optional. This is NOT an assessment, but of course you can submit anything you make as part of your portfolio for assessment (if it fits the requirements.)
New to Canva? Sign up for a free account. It’s pretty intuitive to use, but if you’d prefer a step-by-step, here’s a good one. Use one of the infographic templates to get started.
No idea what to make your infographic about? First up, choose one of the four topics above.
Next, research more about the topic. A bit of googling will help a lot. Make sure your sources are good.
Then, narrow down the focus of your topic.
eg. Creativity could become ‘5 ideas to make you more creative’.
My infographic is looking too cluttered! Good infographics tend to rely on strong, bold images, and keep the word count comparatively low.
If you’ve edited down the number of words and it still looks cluttered, try changing the sizes of things. Make the big things bigger, and the small text smaller.
Ask for a second opinion if you’ve got one handy 😉
Not sure which charity to choose? This directory might help.
Not sure how to write your community service announcement? Once you’ve chosen the charity or not-for-profit, have a look at their website for ideas. Keep the idea simple, and your script clear.
