Final Project and Spacing

Today, I wanted to share my final infographic project. This infographic is one I really enjoyed making. Using Piktochart, I was able to effectively customize and create an infographic I am proud of. However, I definitely still do believe there is room for improvement. I did encounter several problems through out the process. One problem I encountered was finding a balance between images and information. I think I walked a fine line. I do hope that I was able to make sure that neither aspect overpowers the other. Also, it was difficult to find colors that complemented each other, were appealing, yet not overwhelming. I played with the opacity tool quite a bit, in order to make some aspects more visible the the others.

Spacing was difficult for me because I am very weary of overcrowding. I tried to limit wordiness as much as I could. I replaced words with images that translated the same content. However, I may have played into an overwhelming feeling with the various aspects to look at in the infographic. This was a challenge, because in order to transmit a certain level of information you are forced to think differently, limiting words, images, and even information. Unlike Vengage, Piktochart does not have rulers to help align images and text boxes. It was not easy having to constantly eyeball alignment. Rethinking spacing this week, if I were to submit this project again, I would allow a few centimeters space for the "How We Give" pink section. I think this should help space the infographic adequately.
