Simulated Client Project
The first project of the year was the Simulated Client Project which was a short warm-up project, lasting 3 weeks; the brief being to create a piece of work that informs about digital piracy. My idea for the project came whilst doing some initial research and only being able to find large blocks of text on the subject which I really didn't want to read. So I decided to put the emphasis on presenting the information in a way that people would enjoy reading. I soon came up with the idea of creating an infographic, which - due to the amount of different info I wanted to display - became an interactive infographic, with the help of some jQuery.
To keep the infographic interesting and engaging, I designed each of the different sections uniquely, each with their own colour scheme, typhography and shapes. I believe this strategy increases the chances of the user viewing the piece of work right through to the end, rather than leaving after the first couple of sections.
The final product can be seen in my next blog post.
