Infographic for getting rid of hiccups

I tried simplifying some symbols to help people who are suffering from hiccups

Numbering the images and separating the explanation from them forces people to look back and forth and engage more with the images, however it can be annoying if you can't find a number.

Finding the Letter A



Most Succesful:






The common themes of my most successful photos are that they are all found A's (Not designed to look like A's), and they are all capitals.

HOW TO...

In my group we decided to go with 'How to get rid of Hiccups'.

We are going to design this to inform and instruct

It will be aimed at mothers in the victorian era.

Info Graphics

This is my representation of the process of getting an allergy, identifying what caused the allergy and using a suitable remedy for it.

FIGHT ALLERGIES PRIMARY RESEARCH


I asked some of my friends if they have/ ever had an allergy.

I asked these questions:

Do you have or have ever had an allergic reaction to something?

If so, what was it and what were the symptoms?

How do you avoid this happening/ treat it if it happens?

Case 1: Georgia

Although Georgia isn't allergic to anything now she said that when she was younger she had a reaction to certain types of bananas.


Case 2: Jonathan 

The outcome of Johnny's interview was that he is allergic to most herbs and wool. However he still wears a woollen jumper because he likes it a lot and he just puts up with the rash and itching. The solution to his problems is Piriton.


Case 3: Ryan

Ryan recently discovered he had an allergic reaction to some fruit he hadn't tried before, which was supplied by Sam Hoh. Here are the interview notes.

Colour Contrast

These are the main 3 forms of colour contrast: 

Contrast of Tone- Monochromatic Values



Contrast of Hue- Juxtaposition of Colours



Contrast of Saturation- Same colour contrast of saturation






Other contrasts of Colour include:

Contrast of Extension/ Proportion- different weights of colour next to each other giving different results:





Contrast of Temperature- Juxtaposing warm/ cool colours.


Contrast of Complimentary Colours-




Simultaneous Contrast- formed when boundaries between colours 'vibrate', often found in complimentary contrast.

Fliers In Context


I am pleased with how these look taken how they would look if a potential 'jammer' had just ;eft them lying on his guitar. I think that I chose correctly not cutting out all the type on the information page, it would have made it over complicated and confusing. I also think that the neutral and natural colours lend themselves well to the fact that it is an acoustic Jam Night that I am promoting. The cut out Jam Night letters would look better if they were cut out by machine rather than me and my scalpelfingers. 

Mailing List

This is the final mailing list, I kept the design quite simple so that the information was clear. I chose Future for the body copy because I think that it works well with the Header type.

Finished Mail Shot



This is the final product for my mail shot promoting a Jam Night which successfully made it to college in the post. Overall I am pleased with the mail shot, if I were to change anything, I would print it onto a satin finish paper rather than a gloss finish as I thought that it looked a bit like photograph paper rather than the usually smooth finish you usually get on fliers. Also I think that some people may not realise that the final page is a sticker page so I could add a bit of type which makes it clear that they are some free stickers. I got good feedback from the organiser of the night who said that it did well to communicate the 'feel' of the night.






I was pleased with the feedback with both pairs of people saying that it is well presented and the format is relevant to the application and that the proverb is clear and well linked to the context.
