I've already started exploring treatment and composition in my bird concept and really enjoy this one visually in comparison to the technology aspect of each icon to nature. I first did many acetone transfers, drawings, overlap printing, and some photoshop.. I started to develope a similar language to my icons by pixelating the birds into grids. Im now in the process of experimenting how the image and icon interact through composition.

FINAL INFOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE SPREAD




Figuring out how complex data could be displayed through layers and scale showed me how to connect different information in a cohesive way. Comparing two different ideas  was joined by scale on one graph and brought into the locations for another level of comparison to read. Being accurate, attending details and simplifying over and over made understanding all the layers clearer and relate to each other. I also experimented with a single color for specific information and found I could rely more on graphic elements to bring them together. Seeing placement was also an issue. moving elements around to find a relationship to inform the viewer more directly has also improved clarity. Overall I seen what the information was and worked to communicate this through these  methods of design to intrigue viewers and still let the data speak the same language.
