Week 14 - Spacing

When making an infographic you are going to want to make sure you have enough spacing. Some people create graphics and they have so many elements that they are trying to get across that they run out of space, but continue to add different elements. If you have too much going on in your infographic it will be too much for the consumer's eye to comprehend and the point that you are trying to get across will not have the same impact. On the other hand, you do not want to have to much empty space because then it will look like you have not done enough research or put in enough effort.

Below is an example of my first infographic:

Example of new infographic after receiving feedback from the old one:

I tried to have the spacing of the different elements be even, and I also added a different graph to show what is available to the recruits if they choose to go to Benedictine to play baseball. In the old infographic, I had just a chart showing the different velocities that were thrown. In the new infographic, I had a graph created showing all of the pitcher's average speed for a fastball. After showing the new infographic to my friends they also believed that the new one looked better, cleaner, and more simple.
