Meaning And Messaging Seminar Infographic

The task for this seminar was to produce a infographic based on personal information. An infographic is basically an artistic graph, where you record information. The information which we asked for was a timespan of our life, using key moments in our lifes to change the outcome of the position on the graph. For instance, if you created a chart where the lower the line was, the more sad you were at this point and the top being being an happy emotion, then the events which would take place throughout the chart would effect the overall outcome.

This seminar was quite an enlightening experience as I have never created a infographic before. The unique purpose of this, was that there was no limitation to what we could make, as long as we recorded information and did it visually rather than using statistical numbers. I have noticed infographics becoming much more popular with creative CV's as it breaks down the text so that the employer easily see the information and much more clearly, having a bigger impact. Another way I know how infographics are used are within magazines, usually business related so that they can show statistics much more clearly.
