Reflection & Learning Objectives

Creating the infographic on the benefits of meditation was an insightful experience. The primary goal was to visually present the advantages of meditation in a way that is both engaging and informative for beginners. I focused on three key benefits: improved focus, stress relief and emotional wellbeing. Each section was designed with calming colors like blues and greens to evoke a sense of tranquility and relaxation, aligning with the theme of meditation.

In terms of visual design, I ensured good contrast to make the text readable and used repetition to maintain consistency across the infographic. Alignment was crucial to guide the reader’s eye smoothly from one section to the next, and proximity was used to group related information together, making it easier to follow. I also kept the infographic minimal as to represent declutter, focus and clarity. 

One of the key lessons I learned during this process was the importance of balancing aesthetics with functionality. While it was tempting to add more graphics and colors, I realized that simplicity often enhances clarity. Additionally, considering the needs of the audience helped me prioritize content that would be most beneficial for beginners, ensuring the infographic was not only visually appealing but also educational. All images were marked as decorative so that those using screen readers would benefit and still be able to access my graphic retaining only relevant information.
