Infographics

The scope of this project was to broaden our abilities of creating purposeful infographics with the design process. The idea/concept for this project was presented to me in options of "how to make spaghetti", "hot to tie a tie", "how to plant a garden", and "how to take care of a pet".

I found the "how to plant a garden" most appealing, and decided to first go to Pinterest for inspiration before sketching. By pulling in a few elements that I thought would be useful, I started rough sketching for each type of infograph: typography based, image based, and non-computerized.

During the production, I used several tutorials for kerning text, as well as creating the mason jar with flowers from the brush tool. Along the way, I have learned the importance of receiving constructive criticism from my peers in order to produce the greatest works I could possibly make. Technically, I learned that the best way to transfer work from my personal computer to my desktop is to create outlines of everything, and then expand before emailing the Illustrator file.

Next time, I would allot more time to create and work with tutorials, but overall, I'm really proud of the work and effort I put into making these infographics. This project was really useful because I can apply it to the yearbook library that is currently underway.
