My objective was to create a visually appealing digital poster that explained the concept of rapid prototyping. The audience is educated adults within a training field. The technology utilized was completely from Piktochart.
My final version after many iterations. This was voted upon as the best to use but as I stated then, it will depend on the audience.
One of the first options saw me playing with the design used for the ADDIE piktochart. This would keep consistency but this theory is a bit more involved and things just did not fit right to maintain easy visual access and thus reduce cognitive load.
Even after some design changes to reduce the chaotic nature, it still was not right.
The next step was to try something really different. Instead of working on a sea concept, I went for the stars. This was fun but a bit chaotic for my tastes. Personally, I found all the colors and movement distracting.
However, others did not. I cleaned it up a bit and it is not nearly as chaotic.
I found that the people who preferred this one were either elementary school educators or very artistic.
Since I was still not satisfied, I channeled the exact opposite. This one is extremely organized and works like a flow chart. This one was very popular with the extreme linear thinkers.
I am somewhat in between. This led me to a combination of the two - linear and the stars.
The combination is posted at the top of the page.
