Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Info Graphic Reflection

1. What went well?

Our group was fairly successful at the research portion of the project. We were also respectful of each others opinions and abilities.

2. What did not?

Our time management wasn't as wonderful as it could of been. Communication wasn't that solid either. I can't help but think that our final product would have been better if we were stronger in these areas.

3. What would you do differently next time?

I would have spent less time looking for appropriate vectors, and more time on the actual design of the info graphic.

4. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for info graphics:

Be Concise

The orientation of certain elements in our graphic could have been formatted better.

Be Visual

We searched diligently for usable vectors for the graphic.

Be Smarter

We could have found facts not typically known on the spill.

Be Transparent

We were fairly straight to point.

Be Different

Our graphic is eye-catching with the depiction of a large drop of oil.

Be Accurate

We only used credible sources for the information presented in the info graphic.

Be Attractive

The color scheme is consistent. Nothing seems to be an eye sore.

Be Varied

    We could have included contrasting elements in the info graphic.

Be Gracious

    We could have been more sentimental in the feel of the graphic.

Be Creative

I thought using an oil drop as the main container for the information was creative.
