Rather than using other peoples statistics for my samples i decided to collate some myself by doing a class survey and turning my results into an infographic. I chose to do a general survey of my classmates as it's the easiest way to source information primarily. I specifically chose a variety of question styles so i could represent the visual data in different ways. For example; a yes and no answer could be displayed in a pie chart, whereas the subject area could be displayed in a bar chart as there are several answers.
