Info-Graphic session with Lisa

Hi, I thought again I might put this up on the blog for those who weren't here in the session or for those who need these notes up on here. 

Colour (s)/Text:

·      Font-face?

·      Text Size?

·      Hues of colours?

·      What do certain colours give off? Emotions? Feelings?

Audience Engagement:

·      Keywords

·      Colours

·      Shapes

Meaning Making

Multi-Modality

·      Meaning is made from a range of modes: Text/Words, Depth (Scale, Dimension), Colour, Contrast, Shape, Sound, Moving Images, Still Images, Form

·       

Other Notes:

·      Guide the watcher/audience through the sections

·      Well known logos – safety, secure

·      Who is your audience? Male/Female? Age? Does this impact on what you are going to create?

c One of the well know info-graphics is by Harry Beck who created the London tube map which combines shape and colours with text to convey information. Easy to read and to find information quickly.
