Final Project - Main Character Development



A boy, by the name of Nat, is the main character of the story. I am in the process of experimenting with colors, style and features to portray Nat.

Above: I have drawn the outlines of the boy in the first try. And injected shading to give a sense of 3D in the 2nd.

Assignment 5 - Infographic



Tata! My first submission for the assignment after much research and multiple attempts. It shows the amount of CO2 emission from different sectors in US and the smaller text shows more detail on the statistic and what the people can do to help.

Tried a few designs which I just feel dissatisfied with. Hence, adjusted along the way before getting this

Following refinement to be done:
- It looks like a plane crash on first sight. So I gonna change the color of the smoke perhaps.
- With feedback from last tutorial, I shall make the smaller-to-larger perspective more significant.
- Gonna change the design for electric pole as it is not easily recognisable.

Assignment 5 - Infographic Research

I was really fascinated by this infographic while doing my research. Even though there is abundant (even excessive) information clumped into one, I like how the reader is able to "read" the danger and graveness of the information presented through the "skull"

I like this simplistic yet pretty design. I enjoy the comfortable composition and the good use of contrasting colors - black and red. More importantly, it brings across the impact and grave danger of the issue at hand very effectively through its simply presentation and strong words.
