Modified Version:
Since my original theme and style didn’t really convey what I wanted and how I chose to showcase the information wasn’t intuitive for viewers without the proper background, I decided to completely change up my infographic while keeping the same information. I decided that rather than showing groups of information as a block of code, separating groups of information by “windows” would be better. This way, it’s easier for the viewer to understand the information and easily pick out different types of information. Rather than using my designed icons as images, I decided that it would be better to use logos for certain information such as education, contacts, and experience. To separate each project, I chose to have a darker green like moving out from the project name with a slight transparent window. This way, I felt that it would be easier to tell which description corresponded to which project. I used a similar theme for contacts, experience, and education. I thought that a good way to approximately display my proficiency in a certain skill would be through a radar chart for a quick understanding of what I know.
Rationale:
For this infographic, I decided it would be best suited as a pseudo resume. For most programming software, there is usually a sidebar that displays all the folders you have for a project. I tried to draw a bit from that concept by using the same color grays for the background and arrows that represent a different folder. I used my typography to display my name rather than both my logo and typography because I thought it may be a bit too much to add both. Each “folder” is separated by sections one would put in a resume. To add a bit more graphics, instead of writing down what each section was about, I decided to use some of my icons along with a few newly created ones to show what they were. Instead of simply listing each skill, project, etc., I decided to do it in a format that programmers are familiar with. I used the same colors and format that one would typically see when writing code. I used Georgia font, following my typography type sample. To give the infographic a little more dimension, I used the two shades of gray to add shadows under the typography, icons, and text boxes.
