Project 2: Info Graphics

When thinking about info graphics, there were several ideas that came to mind. One of these ideas was creating a simple bartenders guide to the basic drinks and glasses you utilize as a bartender. Then my mind began to race to a little more complexity and fun, when I begin to think of making an info graphic for world travelers. Upon that thought I began to look towards travel magazines such as "National Geographic" and "Travel and Leisure." I thought about, what are some of the best ways to view cities you travel to, and the answer is Ferris Wheels.

My Concept for the info graphics project is to create a fun interactive illustration of some of the Coolest Ferris Wheels throughout the world. This graphic could allow people to take a look at visiting a city from a little bit of a different perspective. The graphic will be an illustration of different ferris wheels around the world and upon scrolling over or clicking on the illustration it will give you both a night photo and a day photo of the actual setting of each ferris wheel. Here is some of my research and concept drawings on the topic.

Final Editorial Illustration

After many hours of work in Adobe Illustrator, this is my final editorial illustration for project 1. My illustration embraces the concept of the article I discovered in the LA Times about raising the minimum wage in California. The illustration contains both the message of raising the minimum wage as well as the location (of California) to show the setting of where the article takes place.

Concept Revisions

After thinking a little further about the editorial illustration project, I made a few final revisions with my concept sketches and then begin to digitalize the ideas. This is some of my process work, to complete the illustration project for raising the minimum wage in California.
