Infographing Processing

In my hand drawn stages, I thoroughly planned out my travel time line so in the computer I started by compiling images- I found the images online or in my own gallery and individually photoshopped each item and then put them in one document that I opened in Illustrator. In illustrator, I was able to move them easier and I was able to work on the background and timeline itself.



I posted a similar, more confusing version of this for crit and found out I had a lot of problems. It wasn't finished, but the development and clarity wasn't going down the right path. Also, I needed to have a reason for the different heights of things. So I started changing the heights of items based on the peaks of hospitality, air travel and tourism. I also realized that color images would overpower my time line so (like the inspiring website Jamie showed me) I started changing the images to black and white.




I then completed the digital time line that would go over the imagery. I used the colors that I originally used in my hand drawn time line.



This is the first final version with both components. The colors were too childish and didn't relate to my magazine spread or to my icons so I went back into my color palettes in my semiotic scrapbook. I used them in the background, the time line and the effect on the imagery.
