Group Task - Types of Infographics


Figure 1.1 Types of Infographics  - Week 1 (10/2/2024)

Individual Task 

In this task we are to pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through your own experimentation with the selected tool.

Figure 1.2.1 Infographic Poster Picked  - Week 1 (6/2/2024)

In order to create a better version of the poster, I have planned out the following steps: 
  • Identify the problem with the current poster
  • Define the objectives for the redesign
  • Identify the important data, plan the layout
  • Design the redesigned infographic

1. Problem Identified:

Based on the current poster, I think the background is too dark for a prize-winning poster, as it should be attractive. The photos used are also barely visible and should be more prominent. Additionally, I believe the prize should be enlarged to immediately catch the viewer's attention. Currently, the viewers have to read the entire poster to understand what the prize is. Moreover, I suggest better arrangement of the subtitles, as I found myself only reading the subtitles rather than the content.

2. Objectives:

  • Improve the background color for better aesthetics.
  • Enhance the graphics to make them more vibrant and engaging.
  • Increase the contrast between the font color and the background for improved readability.
  • Make the prize section more visually appealing to draw attention effectively.

3. Important Data:

  • Hole-in-one odds: Typical odds in a PGA tournament are 4.5 to 1.
  • Lightning strike: Weather's second deadliest killer after floods. A park ranger in Virginia got struck seven times.
  • Lottery win: The biggest lottery payout in the U.S. was $365 million in 2006. The higher the jackpot, the worse your odds get.
  • Shark attack: Rare occurrence. In the U.S., less than 50 people have been killed in the last 339 years. Dolphins have been known to defend shark victims.
  • iPad giveaway: Odds of winning an iPad from ASPE are less than 1 in 900.

4. Redesign:

I use Canva to do this task as it was instructed by the lecturer. Canva is also an easy platform for creating infographic poster.

Figure 1.2.2 Redesigned Poster  - Week 1 (11/2/2024)

The redesigned poster now feels better to read and look at as it appears more lively. I've changed the background to a lighter gradient color and made the font color dark blue for readability. I've also utilized graphic elements in Canva for each subtitle.
