I am doing a collection of shel silverstein poems. I am not sure if i want to make the layout simple and clean and nice or do something with the text to make it more alive. my indesign wasnt working right so i am not done setting the type.

made some new correction added somethings. also working on book layout. that will be posted later on. thoughts, comments?

Another Infograph progress

this is progress of another infogrpah. its showing what you could have spent your money on instead of cigarettes. i am also going to be starting the next project and working on both at the same time.

so i totally changed my infograph. its about how much money goes towards health care each year due to smoking causes. i broke it down into each region and then state.

im fooling around with comps. wasnt sure if the cigarette was even necessary. i am going to add more text. you think this comp works better then the previous?

Rough Progress

Just trying to show step by step with this assignment. this is just still rough progress.

Sketch of graph

heres a rough layout idea for my sketch. as you can see its about smoking. i have decided if i am using a real cigarette or a very graphic cigarette. the text above and below the cigarette are all the ingredients that goes into the cigarettes. then the text coming from the cigarette are going to be all different stats about the dangers of smoking.

info graphic website

i came across this website that has a bunch of info graphics. some cool some ehh. check it out if you want.

InfoGraph

What i decided to go with is to show how horrible smoking really is and how many people die from it. Im very much against smoking and i feel here a chance to show the effects it has on smokers and non smokers.
