The challenge was to create an infographic depicting a day in my life as a designer. I started by creating a step by step plan of my day by collecting data of social media usage and tracked my activities in a two-day span. Originally this data was in the shape of a baseball diamond, but the diamond was too small to display the information. I planned my day as if it were a step by step process because it involved many tasks. Completely changing the design reflects the organization and planning involved with blueprints.
The objective of this project was to distill a complex nursery rhyme into a simple narrative. I discovered that “Rub-a-dub-dub” describes three gay men in a tub. This took me by surprise because most people do not know that this rhyme is portraying gay men. Using simple imagery to represent the sailor, baker, and the candlestick maker, I effectively represented each character without portraying them literally.
