Evaluation - Information Graphics

I liked the fact that I could decide on my own what I wanted to do and how I wanted it to design even it was hard to come up with ideas in the beginning.

I think it is good to learn how to make own decisions in view of how much research to include, what kind of research, techniques and so on.

However, deciding all those aspects can be difficult as well because every decision that I make need to be considered and explained.

In this case it was helpful to have some guidelines which gave me an idea of what to do rather than telling me in detail what to develop.

When I looked for the poster advertising the charity event I wanted them to be readable and clear. Therefore I used a bold font, wider spacing and leading between the words and capital letters.

The colour black as background should give the impression of darkness and refer to the fact that the event is taking place in the darkness.

Looking to my chart designs I learned that ideas have to develop throughout the process. I started with a simple idea which ended up to be improved and include more and specific information.

Furthermore it helped me a lot to get some peer feedback on which I could improve on especially because I came up with the whole idea and therefore I would not recognise if one of the charts would not be clear and understandable.

The animation including both graphics form a symmetry within the image even each lines of the two charts are asymmetrical.

That the lines would be clear and look professional I decided to digitalise them using Illustrator instead of drawing them on paper.

In conclusion I am happy with the whole process. I managed my time the right way so I was not stressed but could focus on the parts I need to get done and reply to the improvements.
