Week 8- Thinking like a designer

In the last couple weeks, our main focus has been to think in terms of a designer. Ultimately, this means that when we make our infographics we have to think about the audience and how we plan to grab their attention. Knaflic highlighted three main points in making an infographic: affordances, accessibility, and aesthetics.

This week, I also determined who my client would be. After doing some research and narrowing down my options, I've decided that doing a recruiting infographic for the Benedictine Baseball team would be a good idea. Not only is this right down my alley, but it also would prove beneficial for our team in the upcoming seasons as I hope to help our team recruit prospects.

For my specific infographic, I plan on compiling our team statistics over the last few seasons and coming up with averages, while posting them to an eye-grabbing infographic. This would allow our potential recruits to see how well our team has done in the past few seasons. My goal in this project is ultimately to help our team continue to succeed and recruit high-level talent from around the country. Here is an example of something similar to my idea.
