PROCESS AND DOCUMENTATION
Research and Observation :
To finish this flip exercise, I chose to do some study on infographics, as advised before. I found various poorly built posters on the internet and opted to implement one of these selected infographics.
and here are some of the badly constructed posters :
- POSTER #1 :
This poster was found on Google and I think it's really cool. It has a lot of useful information, but it's presented in a messy and confusing way. I believe that this poster is highly informative and will assist me in better understanding the water crisis; but, the poster and composition are far too dull and monotonous for me. It's also too difficult for the audience to figure out what they're attempting to say with this poster. I don't think several of them belong here, and the colour tone is too dark.
The texts in this infographic are far too small, which is unacceptable for an infographic in my opinion. The graphics themselves are woefully inadequate for such a large website and community. There's a lot to like about this infographic, especially the way it's put together.

- POSTER #2 :
This poster is also very informative and educational for the audience, in my opinion. Unfortunately, despite using Google Lens to locate this image, I was unable to locate the entire image on the internet. However, no matter how hard I looked for the original image, I was unable to locate the original infographic.

Design Exploration and Execution :
As instructed, I used Canva to create and re-design the infographic. I initially found this application to be quite complex because the graphical elements and tools are limited, and I found it to be very exhausting for those who are accustomed to using Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop.

Final Infographic :
Here's my final infographic; I think it's less complicated than the previous one. This poster was also more aesthetically pleasing and less complicated than the original infographic because I removed some points that I believe are extremely difficult for my audience to comprehend.

I also tried out a few of the canvas tools, such as this animation tool. Using this animation gives it a much more sophisticated appearance. It's also a lot more interactive than the previous infographic. The animate tools from canvas are also very simple for me to understand.
