info graphic for graphic arts class. it really sucks, but i thought I needed to post thisClick to view attachment

thought I'd also post it to make sure it's correct before it goes live
datass
this isn't even a decent infographic, this is something i can make in 3 minutes using a mind map software
firechild
yep. that's my point. i didn't even use mind mapping software, i used ms paint and photoshop
datass
why are you posting this if it sucks then?
LittleMissSunshine
cause he wants to show what he can make it with paint and ps?

You put no thought in this at all. Frankly, you're pretty ballsy for even posting this. This is so unbelievably amateur it's hilarious.
firechild
^umm... thanks? shrug.gif

^what do you actually expect us to say? good job you can actually use ms paint and microsoft like a 12 year old could. this is showcase booth, not post your random no-effort-stuff here forum.

^constructive critisism. not just "it sucks"
creole
constructive criticism, yes.. but what is there to say if you know it sucks already?
anyway, i'll give you my 2 cents.

Mhm. Mosh, if you need some inspiration to get your gears working refer to this infosthetics. Beautiful finished creations that should help you gather some ideas.

Notice how they are much detailed while still amazing to look at? Synthesize that and apply it to your own creation. I see much potential in your "rough draft/sloppy copy". I agree with others, I wouldn't necessarily post this in the Showcase Booth, it belongs more in Graphics Help. But that's just my opinion.

^ Exactly. Thought is step number one in informational design, such as this. If they didn't teach this in your class, then I'd drop that class like a bomb and find an actual class with some creditability.

I'm a firm believer in tough love. BSing around the truth only leads to more of a catastrophe. 'Sides, this place needs some action.
