Objective
To create an info graph for a toy of your choice. First, create the toy in Illustrator using the mesh tool and any other tools necessary
Process
This is one of the toughest projects I have worked on. It was my first time using the gradient mesh tool, and it was a lot harder than I expected. It was very time-consuming, and it didn’t always work as well as I wanted it to. It took me a long time to get all the shadows and highlights in the right spots, as well as keeping the shapes of everything very accurate. After I finished the car, I moved onto my infograph. This part was the easier of the two, but still challenged me in a few ways. One of them was coming up with a good layout. I needed the car to be the main focal point, but I also had a list of elements that were required to be within the info graph. Everything needed to balance out and still be eye-catching. I was told to include two graphs anywhere on the info graph. I had this idea of making the graphs look like wheels, and to use the background colour as the base of the car around it. I loved the way it looked and made everything else work around that. I was very pleased with the final product and think that everything works very well together.
