MR. NAEWMALEE:
It depends on the amount of information and how deep you arewilling to
research it. You can be really passionate and find out all the history or a faster way would be
to hire a specialist andwork with him or her for the duration of the project.
RESEARCHER: What are some of the unexpected problems you facedwhen doing
Infographic/Motion Graphic project, and how did you solve the problems?
