OUGD601: Posters

Infographics

Representing large amounts of information clearly is a difficult task but a way of making it easier to read is through using infographics. These often use icons or signs and symbols with short amounts of text that can be remembered.

The examples above posters use banners, shapes and statistics to illustrate more complex facts with a limited colour palette therefore ensuring certain elements stand out. For my own posters I will use the information points from the previous post to create infographic based posters for the charity to display and tell the audience vital information. The points should be represented by imagery and colour to ensure that people remember the information therefore for the three posters each should have a different layout.
