Big THANKS to Drew for posting this!
I bet you’ve been faking it. I bet your Photoshop files are secretly a mess, and your line art layers are squishy and fuzzy.
It’s okay. This stuff can be hard. Here’s the right way to do it.
- Scan in full color, at 600 pixels per inch. Unless your drawing is significantly smaller than the final…
I was initially drawn to this infographic (Fig 1)because of the muted color palate. The varying degrees of blue is very effective for describing Antarctica without having to know the information being conveyed. Though the images themselves also tell a story without reading the text. Looking deeper into this design which contains a lot of information but the way it is organized there is still space and breathing room, it doesn’t feel crowded.
I also like the color palate of this infographic (Fig 2) because of the opposite reason as the one above. The color contrast is harsh and bright in a pleasing way. The way the information is arranged and is rounded out with a intro is effective. You can read the information in any order and it still makes sense. Though the data here is mostly statistics your not feeling bored or overwhelmed by them which is good. The illustrations are cute too.
