Infographic - Final

Here's my final infographic! I took data of my dog Sassy's habits and put them into an infographic along with what I did that day.

From Infographic

How To - Zine

For our next project, we have to create a "zine" or a mini magazine that shows how to or is a guide for something. I think I'm either going to create my zine about how to grow flowers/plant a tree, how to make paper flowers (actually create some paper flowers for the zine), or how to grow butterflies. Those are my only ideas for now, but I think I'm leaning towards "How to grow flowers or plant a tree" and possibly using some seed paper or pressed flower paper! More to come...just ideas for now!

UPDATE: So I think I've decided to actually go with how to grow butterflies or (monarchs). I think I can create some cool effects with the butterflies via stamps, cutouts (3d), etc. I could also relate a butterfly garden to this (i.e. flowers).

Here are some infographic styles that I like, I think I like the brightly colored ones, they are more appealing. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do yet, but I may get data on how many times my dog barks and why she was barking. Another idea I had was to record how many times I go to each room of my house (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, stairs, etc.). I had also thought about recording the number of family members I have in a family tree kind of way (possibly including where they live, ages, gender, etc.).

Final Public Service Poster

Public Service Announcement Poster

My public service announcement poster is about how so many people lose or abandon their dogs. I wanted to make a poster that to make people aware of it and so they know that dogs are a huge responsibility. I wanted to evoke a sadness through the poster, so I decided to have a grunge style to my poster. The following websites are where I got my textures, dog watercolor, and dog house plans:

My main title letters I did myself with a sharpie marker. I took a photo of a piece of cardboard that my dog and I destructed and tore! This was used for my "homeless dog sign". I added a chain link fence and plans for a dog house for more texture and to evoke that there is a responsibility to keeping a dog whether it be a fence to have a dog house for them. The dog tag I had made at Petco and I put Lucky on it to show that some dogs aren't so lucky. I scanned this in and changed the color to a color that suited the poster. My dog is a watercolor picture I found on the internet.

It is your RESPONSIBILITY to take care of your dog and not to leave behind your dog. If you can't handle a dog don't get one or take it to an animal shelter, don't leave it to fend for itself.

Public Service Announcement Poster

So our next project is to create a public service announcement poster of our choice! I've decided to do my poster on telling people not to abandon their dogs/don't let dogs become homeless :( It's a sad subject, but is really close to my heart and I wish people would be more responsible. So anyway here is some of my inspiration...
