Week 1

FLIP 1 (Different Types of Infographics & Online Tools)

Individual Task (Redesign a Poorly Constructed Infographic Poster)

             For our individual task, we were instructed to pick one free online infographic tool and

             re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster. We should also record the process

             into our blog and present the before the redesigned infographics with before and after

             comparison.

             I found this poorly constructed infographic poster 'Biggest Future Changes in the 

             Workplace?' on visme.co.

Figure 1.1 'Biggest Future Changes in the Workplace?'

             Issues: 

              - Percentage don't add up

              - Colours are clashing 

              - Way too many things happening

            Changes Made: 

Figure 1.2 First Attempt of Re-designing the Infographic Poster

             For my redesign, I wanted to make the poster minimalistic. I used the 'Donut Chart' 

             provided by Canva to create the graph in the middle. In my opinion, since I'm someone 

             who has not used or explore Canva before, it was slightly confusing to figure out where 

             everything was. In my first attempt, it was too plain and there were many spaces that 

             can be filled with elements provided from Canva. 

Figure 1.3 Final Attempt of Re-designing the Infographic Poster

             In my final attempt, I wanted to add some workforce related illustration but as I don't 

             have Canva Pro, the illustrations that were available to me are limited. In the end, I 

             decided to add some squiggles to fill the empty spaces.

             Personal Rating & Review of Online Tool (Canva) 

             Difficulty, Intuitiveness -  3/5 

              Canva might be slightly confusing for new users, but overall simple since everything is 

              already available for you on the website. 

             Usefulness -  4/5 

              Canva is very useful for finding textures or illustration. It saves you hours of finding 

               something you need, but usually the best illustrations are only available for Canva Pro.


             Design Templates, Choices -  4.5/5 

             There are various templates provided by Canva and you can find basically any aesthetic

             of type of templates you are looking for.
