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.

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 12, 2017 The Rune Font Caroline and I decided to work together to hand-draw our font and scan it onto Adobe Illustrator. Neither of us had used the program before, so it was a bit difficult to navigate. We were inspired by the runes pictures we had Googled earlier. They reminded us of engraved cave drawings and trail signs. From: https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/5879/wood-versus-plastic-trail-signs Hand drawing We then scanned this font onto Adobe Illustrator to enhance some of the picture and improve the design. This is the logo that was provided to us by the client. Upon looking at it, we saw a yeti emerging from a frozen cave outlined by ice or jagged rocks. The straight lines that compose our letters reflect the jagged ca ve the yeti is emerging from. The arms of some of the straighter letters, such as "H" and "Z" have bent lines composing them, signifying the mountain that the adventurers will be on and that the yeti lives...
