Observations of Infographic.

-Sorry for the late update, I was finding the plug to transfer the picture-
The photo I have taken are mostly the common things we see in Taylor's LakeSide
Ok first of all these 2 toilet signs.

The first one was existed somewhere around December 2012.
The logo for the toilet was very clear, the male logo was filled with blue color and that can be recognized easily that this is a male toilet. And its visually nice to see. Our common sense will tell us that the blur color indicates male while the pink color is for the female.

The second photo shows the current 2013 toilet logo.
Logos of the male and female was only created using outline and the visual are not as good as the previous logo. The female doesn't look like a female, its more like a male logo with arm while the male logo are like a stick, not sure what it is. There is no color for the logo, this is a very bad example because I've seen a lot of Taylor students went into the wrong toilet because of the sign. Its hard to see the gender logo if you were walking too fast or you were thinking something else.

This is why I feel that color plays an important role in delivering an info or message. It should be something that catches your attention at first sight, entering the wrong toilet will not be happening if there was color, at least not that often. Obviously Taylor did not do a good job in creating this logo, most of my friends think that the logo are off and its hard to differentiate between the male and female logo if you are in a hurry.


Figure3

This is the one of the infographic I saw beside the parking ticket machine.
Personally I feel that this infographic is a good infographic.
Maybe people will feel like this is not too graphical or nicely design, maybe that's because this is a SAFETY & EMERGENCY GUIDE, we need the seriousness of infographic when it comes to things like this.
Medical Emergency, Security Assistance and Fire Emergency category was arranged neatly, there are phone numbers under the big title, which makes it easier to see, and to make a call for help.

After that they got the extra info on step by step what should you do when you are in a particular emergency, like for example the Medical Emergency.
-Type of emergency.
-Location of the victim.
-Condition of the victim.
-Any dangerous condition.
-DO NOT MOVE the victim unless there is other immediate life threatening emergency, such as fire.
-Render first aid ONLY if you are trained to do so.
-Do not leave the injured person except to summon help.
-Assure the victim that help is on the way.

I really feel like this is a very useful infographic in delivering the message.
Not to mention the colors are used wisely, it is easy to read and it got light, so either its dark or bright we are able to read the info on it. Logos are easy to recognized, Medic, Police and Fire, we can understand easily without reading the title of the logo.
