"Zine" Topic

Our next and final project we are working on for Graphics class is a how to zine.  I have chosen to make my zine on 'how to select the right pair of shoes for an outfit'.  I've always had a fascination with shoes as I've been getting older and I thought this was a great time to explore shoes a little more!  Plus, a go to guide for someone when they are shopping for shoes could come in handy some day when they are in a dilemna between what look to go for.

For my research, I'm looking at various fashion magazines, fashion books, and how to guides.  I found a book titled, "The Girls' Book of Glamour-A Guide to Being a Goddess" which has many how to examples in it.  This book is a good reference of how to word the text in the zine that will be created.  Another book I've fallen in love with is a book on Manolo Blahnik by Colin McDowel which has a fabulous selection of various shoe images.  Other images I've found were in a "Fashion Sketchbook" book and I believe I will learn how to sketch shoes from here and render a few of my own for the zine!

The images below are from these various sources.. So enjoy them as much as I have so far!

Final Infographics Update

I recently updated my Infographic to include conclusion statements from my research.  In addition, I repositioned a few elements within the piece for a faster understanding of the piece.  Enjoy!

Project 4: Infographics!

This is my final representation of how to present data in a graphic form.  The project was challenging to visualize how to take information that is normally presented as numbers and graphs into something that is graphically as easy to understand.  The information covered in this poster demonstrates an average of how I spend my time when I'm not in class or at work.  The comparisons of major vs. minor, time spent working on homework from a book vs. the computer, and activities vs. sleep were interesting discoveries I found after collecting data for 22 days.

The project below was my first representation of this information and is not quite as graphic as the final project.  However, one can see how the final project above evolved into a clearer representation.
