Icons and Supporting Elements: Infographic of Conceptual Framework

 Final Project: Infographics

    

  Icons Used/Edited for Project

Here is our completed infographic containing the eleven competencies (and icons) that the educational professional needs to demonstrate.  Rachel Dawson and I completed the project together; I worked on the icons and helped with the layout design of the final poster, and Rachel created the final poster (she is much better on Photoshop than I am).

With the overall design, we wanted to convey that this poster was about education, so we decided to create a stack of books, with each book having the name, description, and icon on each book spine.  Rachel changed the placement, font, and color of each book to give it a realistic feel and to give the audience a different perception of "typical" educational posters.  The vertical alignment of the poster allows the information to be easily read and understood from a distance.  The attributes of the poster make it universally recognizable; books=education.  If we had a larger poster size to work with, we could have worked more on creating 3D books and larger font sizes.

Every sub-component is working toward the same thematic goal: an educational professional.  Every poster always needs improvement, so as I said before, we could adjust the color, font and placement of each book to better reflect the message of the poster.  Overall, I think our poster looks professional, and it conveys the message we were told to convey.
