Rationale

My aim was to design and compile an interactive piece that systematically describes a process, event or documents a series of steps.

For my infographic I chose to utilise knowledge that I already had with digital artwork, and gain more in the process to explain the stages of how I create my work. The intention of this was to hopefully inspire people to give digital painting a when they see that it is interesting and interactive.

To achieve this I created a linear timeline that stopped at each frame to allow the user to interact and explore each stage before moving on. I wanted them to be able to see the effects of each step so I designed the image to show what was added while providing more information when the cursor overs over it. There is also a navigation bar at all times at the bottom to allow the user to skip forward or go back whenever they wanted. The final frame is a full sized comparison of the final painting and the reference image to clearly show what the final result was.

After the suggestions at the presentation I could have improved the infographic by adding more graphic elements, specifically to the introduction page.
