PROGRAM: For my infographic project I used the app Canva. I picked Canva as my program because it is the editing app I am most comfortable with. In the past I have used this program to create flyers for my sorority Instagram account, this program offers many great features to make your project unique and stand out!
RESEARCH: Reese Witherspoon is best known for her role in legally blonde (filmed in 2001). With Reese Witherspoon being a household name so it was not hard to find information about this actor. In my research, I came across many articles, photos, videos, and more. This project helped push me to organize information in a way that is appealing to the eye with still being informative. I tried to group the research into different sections on my infographic. I did this so I could fit as much of the information I came across. Doing research for a design is something I have never done! This project helped me learn more about what information is important, how to find it, and then display it.
TIMELINE: My timeline for this project was to first find the information I wanted to use. After that I tried research Reese Witherspoon’s personal style, I wanted to better understand this part of her so when you looked at my project it reflected her as a person before you even began to read. After that I began to plug n all my information before I started my design just to make sure I had all the informations. I then had to decide on what photos, colors, fonts and layout I wanted for my project. After I combined all of these steps this project took me multiple hours of work to get the final result I was happy with!
DESIGN PROCESS: For my process I started by picking colors that reflect her as a person. Since she is best known for Legally Blonde I decided to use pink as my background color. Since that movie was filmed when she was 23 I wanted to use a more muted pink that would be more fitting for a 45 year old woman. I then tried to find clear photos with a neutral background so she was the main focus. I then put the information into sections that relate to each other and tried to use a mix of grey and white letter so all the words didn’t get lost. I put her name at the center and added a quote from her underneath her name so people can learn more about her personality.
