Infographic

Infographic Process  

In order to do task 3 I chose art deco in for my infographic. It is one of my favorite styles as it has a combination of the decorative era and the contemporary modern style. I began by listing down the characteristics and influences of the style. I took into consideration the fact that the info-graphic purpose is to make the viewer easily understand what the topic is without a lot of text, to do this I shortlisted the main influences of the style and also the characteristics that determine the style. My first step was to apply a title, in my case I chose the one below. A neath designed title which i cropped using Photoshop, I also like the colours as they were highly used in art deco. Another fact why it was a good title is due to its typography, a typical typo that was frequently used in art deco.    

  As my title was done I could now easily relate curtain colours I was going to use in the rest of infographic. On the side of the title I added art deco influenced typography that an atrist created presently, I included these at the right and left side of my title, indicating their importance as the style still lives around us today. Although typography is not my specific subject I still think it is relevant to include in my info-graphic as it had a huge role for the character of this style. Another interesting factor is that the artist combined pop art and art deco.  

 

In the next step I gave colour to the background of the infographic and also applied simple yet effective lines that will act as lining under the wording. I filled the colours of the bar lines using the same colours that the border had. I chose the grey background as the colour was frequently included in art deco fine arts. The grey brownish colour also gave it a slight retro style.

In the next step I included the influences of the style under the title, this was done by using small sized typo so they would not disturb the title. 

By using an online grenadier NF font generator i created my text which included the styles characteristics in a font type that was used during the art deco era. This gave the viewer a clearer picture of the style and could already be recognized by this typo. I placed the wording accordingly on the bar lines. 

Then all that was left was to add appropriate images related to the wording. I chose the images as clear as possible to make it easy for the viewer to understand and visualize. Over all I was quite pleased with the outcome as i believe i managed to translate and help the viewer visualize the style I chose easily. I also made its design as clean and neath as possible to eliminate any confusion. 

Below is the final outcome
