Second infographic idea

This is my second infographic idea and my last one, I am pleased with this one as i think it’s busy enough to be interesting to a child but it’s also not too much either. I am pleased with the layout of this one which I took inspiration from one of the posters i looked into at the beginning of the brief. I chose to line the planets up diagonally do they stretched across the page and i could draw information off of them. The stars were featured on the website but not the app and so I put them on the poster just to add more to it as I chose not to add the squares. I did this so that the poster looked different but still reflected the similar style. I feel that i have made use of any negative space, particularly with the stars. These infographics are my versions of ideas whereas our real one is featured on the blog above.

Infographic draft 1

The screenshot below shows my first infographic, that I took inspiration from the poster also below. The theory involves  time and speed being affected by mass and so I put two pictures on the infographic as well as planet Earth, i did this because on, Earth we have an idea of what time is whereas on another planet, time could be a completely different thing. I kept the infographic simple by making the Earth quite large and then having two columns of information each to do with speed and time which is why there is a clock and speedometer. I like this design as I feel it’s quite visually pleasing, however for a childrens infographic I feel like it needs to be brighter.

Finished Neptune app

The screenshot on the left shows the app as you would see when you’ve selected the planet from the homepage. Similar to the website version, the user would tap the planet and as shown in the screenshot on the right, a box would appear with the information. I think the finished version of the Neptune page works better than the previous drafts because the page is more colourful and attractive. The page also uses the space effectively and neatly without there looking like there’s too much negative space.
