Infographics!!!!

Last week was awesome! We finally got a good amount of design requests! Maybe I shouldn't be so excited to get lots of designs. I might be wishing for those days of patient waiting before too long. But for now, WOOHOO!

Although we are only two days into the new week, I have been looking over the info given to us in the requests and trying to figure out which is the best way to organize it. All of the requests so far are for infographics! Something that I have been dying to do! It's like visual journalism. Anyways, through my research of infographics I have determined that I am a fan of one's that are seemingly crowded with a very limited colour palette. This way they keep their quality. Here are some examples.

Because there are so many infographics to be done, our whole team has been researching various types that we like and starting to put our ideas together. We are still waiting for the editor in chief to pass along the exact info that will be appropriate for each graphic so until then we can't really work on actual designs,(which seems to be the biggest difficulty of the week) but we should be getting that info soon.

That said, by next week we hope to receive this info and at least have preliminary graphics ready to be approved by Sam and his team. We can't wait to get started!
