For my infographic, I decided to focus on littering and its overall impact on marine life. A lot of people don’t realize how much marine life suffers as a result of humans being careless so I felt the need to spread awareness of some of the consequences of our actions. For the data and research aspect, I found some interesting facts over at the conserve energy future website. It lists many interesting facts about ocean life and how it has changed thanks to irresponsible human behavior. When it comes to my design process, I felt like a fun direction to take would be to have different marine life staring down a giant plastic bottle as it sends many different messages. For one, they have no awareness whatsoever about how that plastic could harm them but it goes to show what they are swimming with these days. For the typeface, I simply wanted something that was readable but also not too boring or generic. I also made the typeface in the center different from the other facts just to have it stand out on the bottle a little more. The sea life and bottle you see are copyright free vector images found online.
