Mies-+Infograhics



The concept of my infographic was to be organized and have all of the colors work good together. I wanted to do this since infographics are supposed to be easy to understand and easy to follow. Then I wanted to stick to a color theme so that nothing stood out too much and everything followed well together. Composition wish I used a lot of shapes and different shades of purple making sure that it isn’t too plain. With some of the empty space in the background I also decided to add more polka dots, which fit well since my design is kind of abstract since I used a lot of different shapes, with the rectangles and circles. For this project I used illustrator since we have been using it a lot in the past classes and have gotten better at using it. With all of the information I collected I made sure that all of it was presented well in as few words as I found possible. Then I also made sure that all of the work that I did was neat and organized laid out in my share file and on the wiki page. I did this by making sure that everything was named as it should be and was in the correct place that it should be in. Some elements and principles of design that I used are emphasis, value and unity. I used emphasis in the title of the infographic to make the title stand out Then I emphasised a lot of the important information with putting boxes around it which made sure that the person reading the infographic notices all of the important information. Value was used with the different shades of purple, especially with the gradient, and also with the different polka dots being different shades of purple. This was used in order to make my infographic more interesting but still fitting with the theme without making it boring. Unity was used by using a lot of shapes and using a similar color throughout the entire infographic. Which made the infographic appear neater and organized. Overall I feel like I did quite well on this assignment, I like how I used purple throughout the whole project and also used a lot of shapes. I feel like this made the project organized which was important but also made it visually appealing. One thing that I could have done better is to probably provide a little more information. Although through the infographic I feel like the reader would be able to understand standards based grading from it. One of the most helpful things that I learned about my artwork is how to use fonts and colors that work well with each other. On the last two projects I feel like I did this quite well with my book cover and the infographic. Well on the first three units I didn’t work as well with fonts and colors. Over the duration of the class my artwork seemed to get more and more visually appealing by using colors, shapes and fonts that worked well with each other and made my artwork get more and more appealing well I went through the project.
