Over the course of several weeks, I worked on designing, refining, enhancing, and developing an infographic comparing a large amount of something to understandable objects. This was to help viewers understand the vastness of the size in things they could grasp. This is the final product.
The concept behind the design was to create an infographic focused on helping viewers grasp the largeness of 100 million pounds of chocolate. To do this, I had to explain how much it was compared to other things, like the amount of times that would wrap around the world. Giving visuals like this is beneficial to helping viewers understand the huge amount and how much it actually is.
The final design turned out to be fun, whimsical, and delicious. The background is melted chocolate (white, milk, and dark), and each of the designs throughout are meant to follow that color scheme. For instance, the vases at the 1500 B.C. mark are made out of white and dark chocolate.
My favorite part was creating New York City to end the entire infographic. I found it extremely fun and exciting to try to mimic New York in chocolate form, and while it was difficult, it turned out better than I could’ve ever hoped.
