Information Design/Flip 1 Individual Task

REQUIREMENTS:

Pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through your own experimentation with the selected tool.

Record the process into your blog and present the redesigned infographics with before and after comparison and their personal rating + review of the online tool for

- Difficulty, intuitiveness

PROCESS:

Fig 1.1 The Whole Process

Firstly, I randomly found some infographic poster and I found the choosen one that doesn't look so good.

Fig 1.2 The Poorly Infographic Poster

Then, I start research on what shown on the poster for verify the facts.

Fig 1.3 The Facts

After that, I start finding some free online infographic tool. I found this website: 25+ Best Infographic Creation Tools in 2022 [Free & Paid] (techjury.net) and start test those tool one by one.

First, Canva. Canva is a very known website of design template, but when I start using the tool in it, I can't find some specify tool that I need. However, it still have many fun things in it!

Second, Snappa. It is very complete but it kinda weird when using and I can't find out what's the problem.

Third, Visme. This is the perfect website that I use for more details and tools to use and I decided to use it because it has what I need.

I do not use the template because I can't find the template that suit to my idea. So, I create an empty board.

For the full process, please watch the video above.

Lastly, this is my outcome:

Fig 1.4 Outcome

For my version, I like to show the details of human's sleep cycle. So, the upper part I explained how our sleep cycle works, what are they( N1, N2, N3, N4, REM) and their duration.

For the lower part, I let a big space for 10 Strange Things About Dreams and present it more clean and minimal.

Fig 1.5 Comparison

For the poster before being re-design, I feel like it was too crowded, all the information stick together, the facts are good and not wasting the background by show out the sleep cycle. I will give it 6 marks out of 10.

For my version, because lack of sources, the graphic is not too unified. But, so far so good and I like it. Hope you like it also!
