The Road To
Financial Stability
This assignment right here, kicked my ass from the top of the graph to the bottom.
One reason was because I knew nothing about financial stability at the time, and the second was that I chose the wrong art style out the two I started with, which led me to end up making two different versions of this project… which was the second reason this project was so difficult for me.
I originally started with two art styles. The one you see now which is giving very modern day bank, corporate art style, and the other one. Oooh that first version.
The first version had a bitcoin ecommerce stocks kinda feel to it. Very cyberspace, trying to be the 80’s, but just didn’t work. Which I stuck with until semi comps
My professor at the time had seen my two art styles at the beginning, he didn’t have a preference for either so I decided to go with the the 80’s theme. Big mistake.
Long story short I showed up to semi comps with a piece I hated. After the crit was over I asked him if it would be ok for me to start over and go back to square one with the corporate art style. He said something along the lines of “If you think you can do it” and as an aries I love a challenge, so i took it.
Those two days till the final crit were a rush let me tell you what, but in these two days I managed to create the infographic you see here. Which just believe me when i say is much better than the original.
Long story short I, trust your gut and go with what feels right.
