Here is the initial planning and wireframing of my infographic.
I have also created a prezi slide as my storyboard to demonstrate the logic behind all my design decisions.
It was how I felt the first time I watch a Prezi slide, but I was also amazed by how useful it is in presenting your points with visualization. Especially when I have limited English proficiency, Prezi indeed helps a lot, ha!
Wow, this is a great way to show your storyboard. I like how the Prezi lead you through each step, and that you have delineated the process so clearly. I will certainly be following this excellent example.
I am also working on a comparison-style wireframe, and I will be using what will be essentially a modified venn (just more interesting!) I like the idea of a scorecard like you have, though I don't know if it is appropriate for my topic (again, struggling with the 'why'). What made this particular layout appeal to you and choose it over other formats? I'm still deciding how to lay mine out so I am curious to hear your thoughts.
Hi AiChu I am in the online class but looked at your storyboard, I really like the way you have organised your layoutand have chosen these categories. Adventure is an interesting category but am wondering what goes in adventure in relation to England and France? Is it opportunity to do sports for example, or theme parks? Or is it shopping? To me weather and famous monuments are more relevant considerations (France has a longer, warmer summer, England rains a lot but has a beautiful spring). Culture is a big category for both countries. Both also have historical monuments. Would Stonehenge, for example, go under architecture? Natural beauty is also hard to compare, as they are not really so different, just France has warmer beaches at the bottom and England has mountains at the top, although France also has their alps. In terms of language I think the advantage is just speaking English in England, rather than attitudes towards the American accent which are going to be the same in both countries (some will be ok with it, some not, really they will not see you as an American and tourists are all "tourists" regardless. Good luck! Maybe it is easier to do Paris versus London :)
Janna,thank you for your wonderful suggestions. I indeed followed your opinion and changed some of my designs. Jean (one of the teaching assistant) also suggested me use this infographic to inform my own decision making process instead of trying to provide objective information. Both you and Jean's suggestions helped me a lot. I won't be able to finish my assignment without your suggestions. Thanks!!
Hi Ai-chu, I know, planning travel is complicated! I did not see your finished infographic on Pinterest you should upload it. It is a much better idea to use the infographic to inform your own decison, I wonder what you did decide. Keep in mind that even though England is a great country to see, the weather in the summer is not always warm. Everyone thinks July and August should be sunny but often its a bit cold, cloudy and it rains. Having said that you can take the train from London to Paris quite easily and spend a bit of time in both places, or even a cheap flight, if you can get one, from Heathrow.
Wow this is amazing! You've really put a lot of extra work into this. Prezis make me so dizzy though, haha.
