Unit 3 Reading

For the Unit 3 reading, Chapter  6 "Information Graphics Case Study" it goes over a series of case studies from different designers in a variety of different topics. Within each case studies the different designers gave their input and some advice and tips in designing infographics. Creating a strong relationship with clients is which I agree a good thing, when I design for my friends, I try to keep in touch a lot with updates and what not and help them understand what I go for and likewise I take in what they want into consideration. Making a complex inforgraphic to be able to let audiences who are not familiar in that genre understandable is I agree tough, for example my infographic on "how a turbocharger works" would sound complex to audiences who are not familiar in that kind of area, my job is try my best to clarify it and not to overwhelm them with information. I have the tendency to like being center of attention with loud bright colors. I am quite the same way in design. Although the case study for the "A Passion for Mapping" they suggested that to display a lot of information its best to subdue the color that way audiences can intake the information easier because too much color can be too distracting.
