Infographic Of Popular Cat Breeds Worldwide
"The Catalog" is an infographic poster that lists the 10 most popular breeds of cats worldwide. This project provides insights into their distinct personalities, size variations, energy levels, care requirements, and health risks. I illustrated the cats and created icons to enhance understanding of each breed’s unique characteristics.
Illustrations
I used Adobe Illustrator for the entirety of the project. I illustrated each of the popular cat breeds and challenged myself to keep it as simple as possible while still giving enough information about the particular cat’s coat patterns and textures.
Creative Process
Originally, this project was created for academic purposes in 2021. While there are several successful aspects in my original design, I recognized the need to update this infographic, particularly in terms of readability.
The main goal for this update was to improve readability by creating a more cohesive and organized design. To begin I chose to start the countdown from 10, rather than the #1 breed as I did in the previous version.
My original design has a more chaotic approach to presenting information, making it challenging to access information at a glance. Creating a grid guide simplified the design process, making it easier to place specific information without guesswork.
I replaced text and created icons to represent different categories, and opted for fonts with a more refined geometric style, moving away from the handwritten appearance. These changes significantly improved the overall readability and allowed for the use of a more visually engaging background.
