Vector Icons

I have made all the icons I need to include in the graphs and charts in illustrator

Animatic

I made an animatic that will help with pacing and the overall feel of the infographic. Obviously the transitions are at a basic stage and will be improved. I plan on timing the information to pop up and flow with the music as much as possible.

Sketch 'Storyboard'

I sketched up a basic storyboard to show what assets I need and what order they will appear

Confirm Topic

I have decided to go with the idea of "What would you do as the world ends", because in my opinion it is a more interesting look at an apocalypse. It will have an upbeat feel, focusing on how people will spend their last year together instead of what will cause the end.

 I will use this infographic as the design style and reference for information

Idea for Topic

I have decided on an infographic around the idea of the end of the world, with main theme possibilities such as:

-What will be the final end
-What can we do to stop it
-How would you spend your last moments
-Failed predictions
-How have we caused this

I have collected some examples of infographics around this theme

Examples of Animated Infographics

This is an interesting infographic. In my opinion, it drags on a bit too long, with the repetitive music making it more obvious - but it has a wonderfully clean aesthetic, with true consistency and a smooth pace.

I like how this infographic uses different design styles, changing to the style of the website that it talking about as it goes. I feel it could have benefited to have a voice-over to keep it interesting.

This one it quite long but it remains interesting the whole way through with amazing graphics. It is a perfect example of how even a boring subject such as credit and mortgages can still be entertaining and hold your attention by using an animated infographic, rather than if it was just written down somewhere.
