Week 8: Infographic 1st Draft

Creating Infographics


       This is my first attempt to create an infographic using adobe illustrator and creative website tools.



Evolution of the Christian Cross
Adobe Illustrator
10/20/19


Craft
This infographic was constructed to showcase the evolution of the Christian cross. This was made using Adobe Illustrator. There was a lot of skill used to make this considering that it take skill a great skill in computer programs to understand how to execute a successful design. Such tools in the program that was used would be color, copy & paste, pin tools, and more along with the skill to draw my ideas with manually. In all, the steps were simply to make a layer, create points of different objects such as the continents and the color coated system, and more. In this one, the crosses are laid on top of the continent to show where it came from. Also, the continents are made of many colors to bring more contrast between them.
Concept 
         This infographic was made to appeal to the sight of the audience. The layout of the map with its different continents, crosses, and guided text will allow other to understand it. I arranged it this way so that I can easily create a color-coded system and merge time into it with or with out it. The first thing that is supposed to be seen is the continents, and the second things seen is a text box that introduces and shows where the locations of the featured cross. Though the text box is the largest add-on, it is not relevant to the crosses except for guiding the viewer through a timeline of when and where the cross originated from.
Composition
           The use of the brain in this infographic is that the left side begins to work due to the rise and others on the right slow out. The overall message that is going to be told is that the Christian cross has been changed for hundreds of thousand of years. This sacred symbol of a living sacrifice was not just know in America but in other countries such as Spain, Egypt, and Christo. The first pace to look would be mostly the text box because it is big and it also gives instructions. it is from there that the piece would be understood and further navigated.
