Info graphics For OHP Report

The info graphics that will be included in the report will be a large visual feature of the report in terms of colour and style. Making these info graphics visually aesthetic and easily understandable will be very important if i am to be happy with the info graphics i produce for the OHP report. Looking through the info graphics from last years report, i realised that one big aspect i wanted to introduce into the info graphics would be a variety of colour to further enhance the different info graphics as well as bringing in a new colour scheme into the report.

Below are some ideas i have produced for the potential info graphics for this years report.

To begin with i practiced producing standard pie charts  incorporating different colours, the different colours could represent the 3 main deprived areas in worcester (Rainbow Hill, Warndon and Gorse Hill) Personally these will work clearly but as a designer i feel i could produce some more visually pleasing info graphics so i continued to produce more as you can see below.

 Here is a more enhanced pie chart design which i feel looks a lot better and is more designed than the one above. Reducing the opacity on the area of the pie chart that is not important allowed me to clearly show the area of relevance as well as using a nice typeface in the centre of the pie chart to further get across the percentage. This i feel could work quite well in the report as the design is pretty contemporary.

 Here is another style of info graphic i tested and although i feel the design works well i dont feel it would fit in with my plans for style in this years report. The colour scheme of blue and orange is something i look to take forward. For this years report i will try and create something more stylised for the info graphic this represents.

Finally here is a third take on the pie chart designs i have been considering and of the lot i feel this one is my favourite. Although there is a large about of space around the rest of the circle i feel the is visually the most interesting and pleasing whilst maintaing the simple understanding of an info graphic. This will be one i show to Francesca to see if she likes the design and if so it would be something i would consider to take forward.
