ICT – a force for SOCIAL REFORM – a force for
SOCIAL REFORM On January 17, 2001, during the
impeachment trial of Philippine President Joseph
Estrada, loyalists in the Philippine Congress voted to
set aside key evidence against him. Less than two
hours after the decision was announced, thousands of
Filipinos, angry that their corrupt president might be let
off the hook, converged on Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue, a major crossroads in Manila. The protest
was arranged, in part, by forwarded text messages
reading, "Go 2 EDSA. Wear blk." The crowd quickly
swelled, and in the next few days, over a million
people arrived, chokingtraffic in downtown Manila.
ICT – a force for SOCIAL REFORM The public's ability
to coordinate such a massive and rapid response --
close to seven million text messages were sent that
week -- so alarmed the country's legislators that they
reversed course and allowed the evidence to be
presented.
SOCIAL REFORM THE THREE FACES OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
1. The Good – used for communication where distance
no longer matter.
2. The Bad – allowed people to hide behind screens
and avatars and it has taken over our lives rather than
us being in control.
3. The Ugly – it has become a common cause to
broken relationships, self-centeredness and
egocentricity. It is also for frauds and child abuse.
Basic Principles of Layout and Design
Layout:
It is the process of planning and arranging
graphics or text in a page or book.
A good layout should have a balanced make
up and alignment of elements.
1. Symmetrical:
There should be equal weights or elements on
both sides of the page.
2. Asymmetrical:
It may be asymmetrical when there is an artistic
and different intensity on one side of the page.
3. Text- Text should be:
• Legible
• Appropriate font face
• Left justified, Right justified, or centered
• The flow of text should be easy to read.
4. Image- image should be:
• Proportionate
• Sharp in color
• With high resolution
• With appropriate captions
5. Proximity and Harmony:
The elements should be close together and
scattered and arranged apart from each other.
Elements should not be cluttered and not
compete with each other.
6. Consistency:
There should be uniformity of theme on
each page.

Sir Mark
There are now a large number of fantastic tools
available that can help you create Infographics:
• Infogr.am,
• Easel.ly,
• Pictochart,
• IBM's Many Eyes,
• Venngage,
• Creatly and
• Wordle.

Three main parts to an infographic:

• Visual (colors, graphics, images, icons)
• Content (data, sequential process, statistics, etc)
• Conclusions (summary of what it all means to the
reader)
