In my research that I conducted for the IOT unit, I came across a lot of useful information and found some good tips and tricks for making memorable yet informative infographics. As I conducted my research, my sketchbook illustrations and developmental drawings changed as I learned more. The main points I got from conducting research is that when creating infographics, you must have a target audience in mind and must tailor your drawings to them. Infographics are also best when not overcomplicated, but also not over-decorated, and are clear and easy to follow. I tired to keep these points in mind as I developed my drawing style.
Here are some examples of work in progress!
Here is my first drawing for the 'Water bottle watering system'. These are initial sketches showing my ideas for how I could approach illustrating this topic in the book.
During my research I found this infographic on Behance called Zegnij Karton. I love the style of this infographic so much that it began to inspire my development. I especially like the use of arrows in this infographic, it is easy to follow without the need for words.
The style of my drawings began to develop into clearer and more colourful illustrations. This drawing of the bottle in the soil is a lot clearer than the one I was previously using and will be the one I go with for my final drawing on this page.
For the 'One pot, Ten crops' page infographic I started doing illustrations that were purely decorative.
After conducting a bit of research into the area I found a book called 'Garden Journal' which had an older audience target market, and the illustrations were very decorative and that inspired me to make my infographics very pretty, but use the space in the page to make the point clear. I liked how the illustration on the left showed the dragonfly above the drawing rather than in it, and that inspired me to develop my style.
