=Infographics Research= What is an infographic? == A bunch of information of graphics, It's a visually-appealing and organized image depicting valuable/a lot of information (a chart with data, a flyer with information, etc). The information must be easily read instead of a bunch of information thrown at you. == Artist Statement For the final unit of graphic design, we had to select a topic Mrs.Bjork gave us and create an infographic. I chose to create an infographic for the prostart organization at pewaukee high school. Prostart is a class at the highschool that is at the highest level of cooking. Mr. Demers, the teacher of the class, teaches the students about high class menu items. They also go to events and work with local restaurants At first, struggled with this, because Mr. Demers didn’t give us much to work with. But, I decided to go a different route and describe fast food facts. This class is meant to teach you how to cook and be an active healthy cooker. Many of us eat out and don’t take the time to cook at home. This infographic represents fast food to inform people and open up their eyes to eye opening and disturbing facts.The composition of my infographic is kind of scattered, but doesn’t look messy at the same time. I did a great job at bringing in visuals and lots of facts to look appealing to read. I believe my craftsmanship also turned out really well. The two elements of art I utilized in this assignment are color to show the low to high amounts of people eating fast food around the united states, and shape, using a box to make it less messy on the bottom. One thing I would change if this was a project in the future, was more information on what the client wants. It wasn’t really clear to me what Mr. Demers wanted, I reached out and still didn’t get what he was wanting. And if I had more information, I would like to see where I could take it and how I would incorporate it in an infographic. Throughout this class, I have been exposed to A LOT that I have never been exposed to. I really didn’t think I would enjoy the class, because I didn’t think art wasn’t my thing, but found passion in making appealing projects for clients. After winning the Kiwannis t-shirt design, it made me realize the potential I could have pursuing this path in my future. I believe that was the most helpful aspect that I learned throughout this class. I actually trying to get into graphic arts, because I just wanted to make cool shirts and ended up in this class be picking the wrong one, but in the end I am super glad that it worked out this way. With every piece that I made in graphic design, you could see a big difference in the progress I have made. I struggled very hard in the beginning with photoshop (hate it), learned more with Adobe Illustrator as the projects came,my skills evolved tremendously, and my small part of creative came out. Overall, I’m very happy with the work I’ve created in graphic design and looking forward to using the tools I’ve learned in this class possibly in my future.
