So as we continue; we are continuing into the part where it turns into a colourful and thoughtfully designed infographic and stops being a mutilated cross-breed turkey dog.
For this project, we were put into pairs, and from those pairs we had to make a hybrid puppy of our two dogs and make an infographic all about the dog.
I was grouped with Sir Benjamin Pinkley III—Lord of Driffield who had the breed title 'Hunting, Fishing Spaniel', so that combined with the secret agent dog—thus spawned The Classified Spaniel.
We made up features such as interchangeable genitalia, detachable tail for use of rifle silencing and so many built in pockets that even the dog itself is unaware of the exact total.
You may have to click on it to get a proper eye-full.
For overal look of the poster, we wanted to convey the idea of it look secretive and sleek but at the same time related to the earthyness of the Hunting, Fishing dog. For this, we went with a simple, sleek and modern layout, but mixing that with rough textures and earthy colours. We used a sans serif and a serif to make a distinction of headings whilst making body text smaller and more legible.
We wanted to make charts and graphs about the dog but we didn't feel that run of the mill, and obvious ones would work, as that really is the opposite of the dog. We decided to add some humour (or at least tried to) and make charts that wouldn't really matter but add character to the dog, as the dog doesn't exist, it's easier to make up things and make it really over the top – see the pie chart – and I feel that worked really well.
I won't say anymore, because as an infographic it should really work without much explanation—but as a side note, we got a first for this, and that is rather make me smile!
Well done Ben, it was lovely working with you!
