Infographic Mockinjay

    This pie chart was intended to critique the terrible writing from the untouchable Hunger Games, I used a pie chart specifically because I wanted to use the Mockingjay shape. The information was highlighted by the use of the Mockingjay emblem as the platform for the pie chart information. The font was based off of the title font for the book The Hunger Games. The dark grey background, yellow pin, and muted pie chart tones were also apparent in the book cover as well as thematic to the movie.
    The most challenging and least effective part was getting the opacity of the layers of the pie chart to be compatible enough to show distinctly different colors. The second most challenging part was putting up with the eye rolls from angry girls sitting behind me in lab wondering why I was critiquing their precious Hunger Games. Also as I uploaded it this morning I noticed that one pie slice is unlabeled.
    All together I think it is an excellent start. The colors and idea was well executed but the lack of distinction between the colors is not effective. The font type was also a decent match.

Ugh

Oregon is such a tease. It was snowing just two days ago and now we get spring? I have been in a clothing slump. I am sick of wearing layers and yet with this fickle sunshine I must. I hope it warms up soon. Following bloggers from around the nation can be frustrating that way. Yeah yeah California and Georgia stop flaunting. 

These little keepers I found thrifting, they are so 90s it hurts. Therefore I couldn't pass them up, obviously.

Type Project

I saw a poster today on campus advertising for a concert- Elizabeth Lynch, soprano. I went to the concert and it was fabulous, however the poster was terrible composed. There was a busy background, purple on purple rounded argyle. The font was very decorative and layered white drop shadows with black lettering. Her photo was beautiful but only took up about a fourth of the poster. If it were me I would make her photo the majority of the poster and add the text above and below in simple, clean lettering.
