5 VISUAL POTENTIALS

Appearance

Since my topic is about showing statistics on how many people use Tik Tok, how many hours is spent, and where people are using the app, etc. I will be using pictures of the top creators on Tik Tok, some memes, and dancing people figures, maps to teach the viewer about the topic.

Iterations

Relationship

Thoughts and Next Steps

Layout:
I want the viewer to view my infographic from top to bottom and left to right. The top starts with general information and as you go down, the information gets more detailed.

Balance:
My infographic uses red and blue as the main contrast colors. Red is used to highlight and put emphasis on important information. Small red hearts are distributed evenly across the entire infographic in the background symbolizing likes. Blue is used less than red but also used throughout the graphic.

Unity and Variety:
Type styles: titles are all in caps, bolded, and bigger than the body text. Words that needed to be emphasized are capitalized and bolded in red.
Level of realism/detail: medium level of realism; did not use real images but graphics are not too abstract

This infographic was made at the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020 before the pandemic started. Obviously since then, Tik Tok has gained more attention and followers after that; therefore, the numbers and data here are not up to date. Hopefully, I can make an updated version soon!
