Day: December 10, 2015

This semester I think I have made progression; both in techniques and creative approach and I think I have managed to come up with some nice designs over the past 12 weeks. Personally I think that my typography work came out quite impressively and I achieved more than I originally thought I was capable of. I think this is partly due to my approach being influenced by a particular art style which I found fascinating enough to research. This I think is an approach I may re-try in these future projects to come. For example if I choose to do the facial hair companies brochure campaign I may try something based around Art Neuvo or if I do the investing company I’d probably aim for something more modernist.

As for the infographic considering that this was my first infographic ever I was quite satisfied with the end result as it was nice and clear with the information. This task I definitely had difficulties with; not any design issues per say but more understanding the information I had to explain in infographic format. Teaching myself Einstein was quite a big task which unfortunately ate into my design time. If I was able to do this again I would try to learn the content a lot sooner. Had I given myself more time this may have increased the quality of the end result. Other than this regret I can say I am pleased with what I produced. Perhaps if I had my infographic to learn from learning the theory would be quite a stretch easier. Still, I look forward to more designing next semester.

In this final week before deadline I have made all my adjustments as suggested to me in the workshop last week. Some of which were easier than others. To resolve the issue with some of my text not being visible, I opted for brighter colours to stick out more. The green colour is now a vivid bright green and the purple has now been replaced with bright orange. My main task in terms of the infographic this week was to add variation to my Einstein character. For this I produced 3 more variants in different positions:

This I think will make the infographic much less repetitive. Having the original Einstein made this a lot easier as this acted as my puppet so I could position Einstein into different positions.

Other than a few other minor bits of tidying up I’m hoping that it all should be good to go before the Friday deadline.
