Assignment 16: Research and Inspiration!

History Timeline (Infographic):

Research on Information Graphics:

• Visual representation of information, neat and organized, presenting complex information quickly and clearly
• Visual shorthand
• Charts, diagrams, graphs, tables, maps, lists, and timelines
• Often used for maps, statistics, weather forecasts, etc.

Inspiration:

Color scheme- earthy tones, neutrals, skins, greens, browns, cremes

Visual ideas- sign language, loopy thread, a little grungy (or very, very clean), fake graph/table

Information- At least one of each podcast (~9 to 10)

Sign language hands: trace each letter needed and use opacity and brushes to color in

I find the dark contrasting with the light very appealing. Dark side could have date, light side the fact

Good color scheme. the use of photos in little bubbles works well with the simplicity of the overall design, and the use of large and small text (year vs description)

The use of a transit map is so extremely witty it's not even funny. I like how the center three line includes the descriptive facts, and the smaller routes branch off into some other text, related to the fact, most likely.

Wish me luck!
