During class today, my group and I received some suggestions about our infographic. Some of them are highlighted below:


  • Our visual of the road conveys how to apply to the club well, but our graphic does not convince pre-health/aspiring EMTs to join WPI EMS as well as we had hoped.
    • We should include more benefits, time commitment of the club, contact information
  • Our road signs were a bit difficult to read
  • Starting at the stop sign is discouraging
    • We had originally decided to use the stop sign as a "stop, you need to be certified before you can apply to be a part of the club", but since it does have a universal meaning of stopping altogether completely, the graphic could be used at the end of the road rather than the beginning to signal an end to the application process
  • The title section could use work as it currently resembles the FBI warning logo at the beginning of videos.
Some recommendations the class made:
  • Scoot the whole graphic up - get rid of the title and move the road up
  • Our classmates seemed to like the four icons at the bottom of the infographic and suggested that we include more specific details about the club underneath the graphic. 
  • They also recommended we change certification to get certified since it was the only noun in the four word grouping at the bottom of the infographic.


This wonderful drawing by Caroline illustrates the direction we will be changing our infographic to resemble.

November 14, 2017 Infographic For my next visual rhetoric project, I will be working with  Natasha  and  Caroline  to create an infographic about a WPI club or organization. An infographic should: Use pictures, colors, and fonts to tell a story Include statistics, only if relevant and contribute to the overall information and story that is trying to be convey Include a central image to tell the story NOT be a bunch of semi-related pictures that appears to give information in a way to catch someone's eye but does not have a solid central theme To begin our design process, we googled infographics for inspiration.

December 12, 2017 "The Hangover Map" Jess and I met today to revise our final map. We received a lot of feedback during class. Here were some of the popular suggestions: Include the biking times to get from campus to the respective breakfast location.  Label the pictures on the side of the map so the reader will know where each came from. Change the color scheme - it is currently too "Mad Hatter" Give the map more hangover colors, such as a Sepia filter, while give the icons a refreshing color to symbolize regret to respite.  Use two different symbols to label the different breakfast places. Currently the coffee cups give the appearance  that each place is a quick "grab and go" breakfast place, while some are actually sit down restaurants.  Add humor to the map to further appeal to the reader. After taking these thoughts into consideration, this is the final map we came up with: We decided to change the fonts throughout the map to ...

November 10, 2017 Revenge of the Yeti - Collaborative Font A client representative came to our lecture yesterday to answer questions about our fonts and the escape room. Some information we were given included: The name of the escape room will be "Revenge of the Yeti" The font will only be used as a title font, not as more traditional paragraph font or on clue cards. The escape room is made of two segments: first you must find the lost expedition, then you must escape the Yeti. If you can't escape the Yeti, then you are killed The keywords Sherpa and Himalaya were more just for brainstorming purposes, the room will not have a strong tie to the Himalayas, just to cold mountains. The Sherpas will be the mountain guides who help you through the Escape Room. The font will be a cold color, such as blue or purple Some scenery will include a bunker where you escape into, older radios, and cloth tents. The font must be able to be used on flyers, next to the escape...
