Before redesigning the poster

After redesigning the poster

The design I changed:

1. Color: I changed the color of the circle, in order to express the positive and negative of the content more clearly, I unified the tone.

2. Background: In order to achieve a comfortable visual experience, I changed the color of the background.

3. Graphic elements: To make the chart's content more concise, I revoke the original book elements.

Professional Motion Graphics recommendation

Features: This clip contains very flexible graphic wiggles. It is a very typical short film with dynamic graphics. The appearance and disappearance of graphics are very natural and not redundant. It is very comfortable to watch.

Exercise 1:

Chosen Data: Found a lot of shopping change in my wallet so I used coins as inspiration.

  Exercise 2:

In this task, we must arrange a variety of data into a visual poster that combines and applies the LATCH concepts.

We were asked to create a visual poster that organizes a set of information by location/alphabet/time/category/hierarchy into a visual poster that combines and utilizes the LATCH principle. We need to assemble the Pokemon into a LATCH infographic poster using available digital photo editing/illustration software. Required size resolution: 1240×1750 pixels or 2048×2048 pixels.

I first referred to the reference materials given by Mr. Martin to check the evolution process of some elves.

Illustrating assets progression

  After completing the asset description, I started to create a text box.

Exercise 2 Before Feedback-1

After receiving feedback from Mr. Hafizi, I enlarged the icons to emphasize the Pokemon theme.
