Hey everyone,
Not sure if you can see this too clearly but this was the only way I could figure out to post it as a jpeg. What do you think of this layout? I decided vertical may be better to create more text space. Is it too much text? (I'm not done with all of it). I am trying to keep it simple with color, so I chose not to use many.
I'm going to be doing volunteering work in Mississippi during break so I will most likely not be able to check this until I get back.
Have an awesome break!!

It's looking really good! I'm feeling the iconography - it looks really good. I think that you could combine the legend with the issues. You could use one of these things } to indicate the cow, dollar sign, heart, and flower are issues. Also, is "Root" a play on words? because I'm not sure I get it. Overall, it looks very nice. Hope you have a good time in Mississippi :D
ReplyDeleteExcellent, I wish i had picked such a simple, yet effective design. It's a bit unclear on the health and environment impacts though, and the animal category could be worded a bit more objectively, but it's a great graphic.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking good Amanda.
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the comments I already sent you:
- It seems that it needs a little more of organization in the space, specially in the lower part. Are you following a grid to organize your texts?
- Also, the body text can be smaller than how it looks like right now.
- The icons on the map, I assume you are going to include something to support why they are in the middle of the path...?
- The viewer needs some more help in the coding/legends, knowing what's what.
- Look at the comments from your classmates above. They are also very accurate.
cool icons
ReplyDeleteWow, its really all coming together. The simplicity is very nice. I am not sure about the title, I feel like it should incorporate the journey of the food to the table, "root" makes me think of trees and growing crops. Are you going to have a background texture, image, color? I think a little more color somewhere could be aesthetically pleasing and would help bring the map and the information together.
ReplyDeleteWhat about including a total of the fuel and water usages to get food across the country? I don't know if that information is available though? I also agree with Emily about the title, conjures up the wrong images. It looks really good though, I like the iconography!
