DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this assignment was to create an infographic for a company using Adobe Illustrator. The rules were to add at least 4 illustrations and 1 graph/chart.
PROCESS (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles)
1. I began this project by thinking of all of the things that I am passionate about and the top answer was sleep. Sleep is my favorite thing in the world but sometimes I have to sacrifice sleep for school assignments which occasionally leads to insomnia.
2. The next step I took was research. Lots and lots of research! I think I spent about an hour and a half on Pinterest looking at examples of infographics. This helped me to understand what works and doesn’t work in an infographic. I also spent a lot of time looking for good resources to use for the information I was putting into my infographic.
3. I then began to sketch out my idea of what I wanted for my illustrations and my layout.
4. Next, I spent even more time on Pinterest looking at infographics and watching tutorials on youtube to help give me more ideas.
5. I began by creating my illustrations in Illustrator first and then began to place more information as I went along.
6. I also created a pie chart from an alarm clock that was used for my 1 graph/ chart that was required for this project.
CRITIQUE PROCESS
I critiqued Lisa Wharton and Anne Law. I also received critique from Christine Winward on Facebook. She suggested that I increase the size of my stars with text and also to increase the boldness on my “Sleep Tips” text box. I also received critique from my husband Joel who suggested that I increase the size of my text so that it is more readable. And my friend Arianne recommended that I move a couple of my text boxes around in the middle section to create more flow.
MESSAGE
To inform viewers with insomnia or sleeping problems of the facts of insomnia and tips on how to overcome it.
AUDIENCE
Anyone who is interested in learning how to sleep better.

This looks so good Hannah! I like all of the clever little details, like the one out of 3 with eyes open, the pie chart clock, the moblie, etc. The way you executed the design is just so right on and clear.

Hey Hannah! What a darling infographic. I think you chose a great color scheme with the monochromatic blues and hints of yellow. I also like how the clouds and sheep have similar shapes. Your infographic has great depth with the different shapes, text boxes, and sky background. Great job!
