Here's my infographic for an article called Quantum Leap that explored what quantum computing is all about and the benefits of it. Originally the final was red on white mostly, but I was partial to the colors I originally had here. I also tightened up some elements and the way the line leads around the page.
I definitely like this more with the yellow background. My only feedback to you is to consider doing something to even out the page because it feels a bit heavy on the right, I think mainly because there is a lot of negative space in the bottom left corner of your page.
ReplyDeleteTo make the page seem even you could put all the icons on the right on the left and the ones on the left on the right. I like all your icons but it bugs me that the plain is the only one that does not have any black in it as all the the others do. Maybe the little air line could be black.
ReplyDeleteTony - The colors are very muted, very organic. Is this computer a new generation that uses organic compounds in its structure? That is what is suggested to me by this color palette. Maybe it's true? If it isn't, then what ARE the colors of future computing? Metallic silvers and cold colors such as blues/purples, define this industry now.
ReplyDeleteNegative space is an issue here, as seen in the crowded area between heading and first section, the airplane icon and its section, and the lower left (as pointed out in other comments). Please allow the neg space to separate these elements just a bit more. Consider developing the lower left by adding an element that would refer back to the main design... like a pile of the textured red dust that is deconstructing your heading... or an element that would help visually express the "tangled quest" that we read in your subheading.
Note: presently there is nothing "tangled" about this layout... how could you suggest a tangle? Background texture or lines or overlapping shapes? Consider introducing shapes that contain a lighter version of your mustard yellow background... to help lighten up this project and increase the value range.
Tony,
ReplyDeleteTo add on to what the others have said, my biggest piece of advice would be to separate the title from the rest of the piece. You seem to have some room at the bottom, so try to drop the body down a bit to add some spacing. Otherwise, I agree with Siobhan about switching the location of the icons and the text, as well as adding some black to the place to keep unity in all of the icons.
