Info Graphics - Final Crit

This is my final infographic. I managed to make it on After Effects after watching a lot of online tutorials and playing around with different features.

The only changes I was given in my final crit was to make all the international place names the same as some where cities and some countries. They are now all countries as this gives more proportion to the map.

Info Graphics - Intermediate Crit

I haven't been to the two intermediate crits because of a couple of different reasons.
On Monday I sat down and spoke with a tutor to have a little crit on my own to gain some feedback. This helped me to solve some problems with the layout of my information and the design of my piece.

My info graphic is about where people lived before coming to nua in norwich. I started by creating a map on google with all of the places that people said they lived in my survey. I then started to make this into a poster but it is difficult because I have people outside of England too. The map got too big and Rob suggested to make it out of scale to get all the info in.

I have also been thinking about creating a moving piece by using After Effects. I have never used it before so I am going to try and teach myself the programme over the weekend and give it a go.

Info Graphics Workshop - Collections

Today we had a morning workshop all about collections.
We were all asked to bring in 30 items, 10 found, 10 bought and 10 that we already owned. It was a really fun workshop where we got to focus on composition and photography skills. I brought in three different collects of things so I ended up with three final photographs.

The one that will end up in my portfolio and reflective journal is the duck one, I think the angle that I took this photo makes it start out from the other two.
