Exploring the 5 situations for the 'future' part of my information

The five situations keeping in my young children for the future part are playing football, dancing in a club, typing, at railway station and character's body parts.

Playing football:-

I dressed the character in the football players uniform. the two teams with 2 different colors and the number coding.

Dancing:-
Making the character look more cool and at leisure time, i added few props like glares.

Typing:-
Adding the specs on the character can enhance this situation.

Railway station:-Character with thier luggage

Body Parts- Lungs:-
Showing body parts like lungs.

Final character

Today we had our work in progress presentation and i got more feedback on my character. I had two characters which I showed to everyone and got lot of feedback. they are:-

1

2

Got a lot of feedback and more people voted for the number-2.

Yay finally I could decide my character. Now i need to put my character int 5 situations i.e playing football, dancing, typing, at railway station and showing the characters body part.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT-part-3

I have had been experimenting more on the character, i need to really decide on it really soon. I have a variety of character and i am confused which one to go with.. So today i showed my work to friends around and asked for their feedback . 

These are few more experiments.

This time i started with the square and rectangle shape for my character.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT-part-2

More character exploration

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Today I started with the character development....
Tried and explored a lot of things. Few of them are here...

TUTORIAL

I started exploring the visual language for the infographics keeping in mind simplicity and playfulness of young children.

GEOMETRIC, UNCOMPLICATED, STRAIGHTFORWARD, EFFORTLESS.
These were the four words I could think of when i thought of young children. My initial explorations revolve around these expressions.



Man with Football

People playing football



When the football is batted about.

For todays tutorial I had few questions in my mind:
1) What should be the art style for young children?
2) Will children understand such technicalities which my narrative offers?
3) Also I need to get my narrative of the movie checked from my tutor


FEEDBACK(and answers):
My tutor suggested me to develope characters and not use isotypes. He asked me explore the visual language of my audience in more depth. Also according to him my story didnt have very complex technical information which children would not understand.
So for the next tutorial i have to develop a character for my movie and visualize the five situations i.e playing football, typing, dancing, railway station and body parts like lungs.

Paper Info-graphics-Part-2

This promotion set includes book, bookmark and poster was designed to 
introducing Taiwan. 

It is not only a book with a bunch of nice delicate paper-illustration, but 
also an informational graphics book. I translate some normal facts into 
interesting numbers, and then use paper-illustration to make the 
informational graphics.

Why
When I came to the United State, I noticed that many people don't know 
my hometown Taiwan. Some people even cannot tell the difference between 
Taiwan and Thailand, just because they sound alike. As a designer, I think 
I should do something to promote this beautiful island.
Challenge 
I would like to do something very different from the other books about 
Taiwan. It would definitely not be a tourist guide, nor a boring government-
published book. It should be interesting and casual, but also clear in 
delivering the information about Taiwan.

The population of the mainland China is 59 times than
Taiwan. If mainland China's population is the whole dish,
Taiwan is just one piece of chicken. (This dish is one of the famous Chinese dish – Kong Bao Chicken)

Its quite interesting how the designer here has shown the graphics through paper illustrations.
