Assignment 5 ~ How Things Work (Final Version)

Okay, Assignment 5 "re-done".

The current assignment 5 has a Gestalt's Principle "installed", namely "Proximity". The elements have been rearranged and font size are increased! It should look clearer now. =D

How does this have anything to do with Gestalt's Principle of Proximity? Simple, each ring represents a cluster of object. When the objects cluster together, they are seen as 1 group, thus the proximity principle.

This is the background. Following the design(the ripple like picture above this) that incorporates Gestalt's Principles, I have made it such that the Earth and its ozone layer are part of the ring! It also has a blown up map of Netherlands.

Final Prototype:

This is the final look of my infographics! I tried to map every element that I had since last prototype into the current prototype,  but due to space constrain, 1 or 2 elements were left out. I have also added a title" Meat Out Thursday @ Netherlands" to fit into my ripple concept. As to why is there such a great degree of change is that from the comments in tutorial class, the fonts size are too small, the pictures do not seem integrated and I had to re-shuffle the elements such that they look more organised. The Earth appearing above the map of Netherlands for the previous prototype look out of place, so I modified it to the Earth in Space with a blown up map of Netherlands, thus giving the background a more complete look. At the bottom right corner of the infographics, I placed a tap connected to the Earth, with the idea of sending the message, "The water wasted is from our Earth!" to the audience. It would look very strange  if the tap is not connected to anything and yet, it has water flowing out! All elements that are on the left half or the infographics have a little shadow that I decided to add in the last minute. With the addition of the shadows, I feel that the elements look more integrated, compared to not having a shadow. Lastly, my only regret is that I could not find a better way to integrate the bullet, missile and nuclear missile properly as the bullet looks very very small, and you will really have to squint your eyes to notice the bullet.
