In this assignment, i decided to explore deforestation as the key issue regarding to climate change. I found it quite easy to find the article as there are so mant articles out there that talks about climate changes. However, my chosen article was one in which i could highlight the causes and effects of deforestation so that there is more scope for the creation of my infographic. And this is my initial sketch. I tried to place the infographic in a plain form so that readers can easily identify with the entire process of deforestation, from causes to effects. I will also put in various animals, plants and images to make my infographic more appealing. One important thing to note during the design process was that i need to make sure that my design does not turn out into a poster like kind of artwork.
Next, i placed my sketch into CG form using illustrator and showed it to my classmates and tutor. They liked the idea of me using different colours to represent the functions, causes and effects for deforestation. They also liked the fact that i explored different shapes and lines for the infographic which makes it more interesting.
However, they felt that i needed more text and explaination for my infographic. A legend was also suggested to make it easier for readers to identify with the different sections. Furthermore, some of my images were inconsistent. For instance, the monkey looked realistic while the cow looked kiddish. As such, i was given suggestions to make them more consistent throughout. And also my alignments of my texts need to be further improved as they looked distorted throughout.
As such, i tried to improve on this design by making everything more consistent and use better positioning for my texts and graphics.
