We will combine the 2 definitions and make our own interpretation of what a 'healthy lifestyle' is and this will be the basis of our info-graph.
After a group discussion we decided that the main points to a healthy lifestyle is a healthy diet, regular exercise, drinking and smoking in moderation. These four points will be our main focus relating back to the point of budgeting on each one.
We then went on to create a brief plan of what each A5 card will have on it and how all the information will come together, this gives us guidance throughout the project and allows us refer back to and make sure we're on track.
