Typography Infographic

For my infographic, I decided to explore the different type classifications and their characteristics. I used black in the background, so the names and other information stands out to the viewer. I tried to make it casual and friendly because that is something I like in infographics.

After my research, I realized that a good infographic is minimalistic in design and doesn’t have too much detail and color that might distract or take away from the information presented. I strived to make something simple and impactful, so anybody with minimum knowledge about type classifications can also understand the timeline.

I would give myself a 9/10 because I feel like this infographic can be placed in a hallway. I tried my best to present facts in an easily understandable way and made everything by hand. The chalk material stands out and gives the flat paper some texture, which I really like. So overall, I am satisfied with my project.
