Create a new post in your own tile.
Add an image (screenshot or export of your draft infographic).
In the text field, provide a brief design rationale (2–3 sentences) explaining your visual choices, color palette, and layout.
Use the star rating tool (1–5 stars) to rate clarity, visual appeal, and adherence to design principles for your peers.
Add at least one positive note and one suggestion for improvement in the comments.
After reading feedback on your own post, plan and make any revisions for your final submission.

Sustainable Cities: Greening Our Future

My infographic focuses on how cities can reduce carbon emissions and improve quality of life by expanding public transit, investing in renewable energy, and adding green spaces. I used a green-and-blue palette to communicate both nature and trustworthiness, and I kept the design symmetrical to make the content easy to follow. The rounded icons are meant to make the information approachable rather than intimidating.

The Water Cycle: Nature’s Recycling System

My goal was to make the water cycle easy to understand for middle school students. I kept the layout circular so the process looks continuous and used a blue gradient for consistency. The icons are simple enough that they work even without text, so the infographic could be used in multilingual settings.

Pollinators in Peril

I wanted this infographic to feel lively and engaging, so I used a honeycomb background pattern and warm colors. The goal is to make the urgency of pollinator decline stand out without feeling too heavy. I added close-up illustrations of bees and flowers to help viewers visualize the pollination process and make the science more approachable.

Ocean Plastics: A Global Problem

The high-contrast colors help emphasize the scale of the problem. I kept the text minimal and relied on big statistics so viewers can grasp the urgency at a glance.

From Farm to Fork: The Journey of Your Food

I wanted to show the full story of food production without overloading the viewer. The warm color palette keeps it approachable, and I used a linear layout so people can follow the journey from left to right without confusion. Minimal text, big visuals, and a few key stats make it something you could hang in a café or market and still understand at a glance.

Wetland Ecosystems: Nature’s Water Filters

dajhakenya6 — 2025-08-14 16:56:21 UTC

My infographic focuses on wetlands as both ecological habitats and natural water filtration systems. I used an illustrated cross-section to make the underground root systems visible and color-coded each process for clarity. The muted color palette reflects the natural environment while keeping text legible.
