I went out to lunch recently with my family and noticed an eye-caching infographic at the center of each table.  I wish I could post a picture of it, but that would ruin the surprise!

Below you will find the data from the infographic.  Your job is to create a picture that displays all the information.  The only requirement is that all the information below is somewhere on your 8 1/2 x 11 page.  Use colors, crayons, pencils…whatever!  Get creative!  Don’t know what an infographic is?  No problem!  Take a look at some of these examples.

Data that must be included on your infographic…
