To begin this project, I began by researching multiple types of infographics online: from the overwhelmingly full and entirely typographic, to the short and sweet and vector-based, each gives its own set of information as appropriate.

 

 

In order to give myself a full set of options, I chose four different subjects to ask people about: cooking, time outdoors, changing majors, and dreams. My class came up with the most varied responses for the cooking subject, and when I went out to ask random people in the public, they gave fairly similar responses.

 

 

Although the first round of posters was fairly rough, they introduced the infographic style well with vector-based images and a need for proper photographs.

 

 

The second set of posters is slightly more refined--particularly in the image-based section--but still requires a good amount of work. For instance, although the ideas for the typographic section are interesting, they are not clearly designed to portray what I desired them to. As for the non-computer based, the ideas are coming along nicely, the final product just needs a bit of refining and nice photographing.

 

 

In the final set of refinements, I re-shot the non-computer based images, and focused on how to make them look interesting. The typographic posters also got a whole new look as I considered how some images could help them, and image-based was merely left to pick up whatever the other two did not use: there was certainly plenty to consider.

 

 

Finally, the last three posters came out of the mix through some Illustrator filters, color changes, and general refinements. I was pleased with the well-organized hierarchies in each piece, though the non-computer based poster could have been a little clearer and the typographic poster could have used a lighter text.
