For my mapping project, I have decided to portray my life as a mommy through all of the messes that I have to clean up daily. As some of you already know, I have an 18 month old son who I am constantly chasing, playing with and then cleaning up after (when im not at school). I have calculated how many diapers I have changed, times i've cleaned his playroom, baths i've given, and how many sticky hands i've wiped in the past 18 months. I have also calculated how much time and money this has costed me. I am planning on displaying this information using a combination of graphs, graphics or illustrations, and just written information. 
This infographic caught my eye because of the graphics. I liked that you could tell it was about marriage without even reading the title. I also like that each piece of information was represented with its own graphic. 
This design is really clean and simple. I like the use of transparent colors on a white background. I also like the 3D aspect of it. It has a sense of depth.


I chose this infographic because it included a lot of information through both graphs and written information. Although it is a bit cluttered, it is still organized and consistent. 

Again, this one is very organized and easy to follow. It contains a lot of information but is still simple and clean.

I chose this infographic because I am playing with the idea of using a large illustration of a baby as my central focus and having all of my information stem off of it.

  1. I like the idea of you using something similar to the last graph, you could draw lines off the diaper, his hands, and a toy off the ground. Maybe showing percentages for what you do most. You could even use a photograph as well.

  2. It a good idea to use something that is so close to you. But i think that you should put a wow factor because its not that interesting compare it to some thing else in your life.

  3. I know this is an important topic but maybe compare how you do things maybe to someone who doesn't have a child to show just how intense a job it is to be a mom.

  4. I think creating a design based on the first and the fifth influence would be the most creative. I like how this is personal and this information can help future mothers prepare themselves for when they have kids.
