As an illustrator and
designer my job is to translate ideas into an image. Often times this comes in the form of a logo,
poster, tattoo or shirt design, or painting. But this week I was presented with
the new task of creating an infographic.
An infographic is exactly what it sounds like, a graphic that displays information. Having never created an official ‘infographic’ before, I was a bit unsure how to go about doing it. After sketching up some thumbnails I quickly came to the realization that all the images I create are infographics, they are just not presented as such.

Bringing together a
combination of type treatments, poster design, and logo-like illustrations, I
created this infographic on how to successfully run a facebook contest.
Moral of the story: Don’t dwell
on categories and genres and approach any task like you know what you’re
doing. Chances are, you really do.

Fantastic!
