The groove on the apple connected to handle is partially covered with a circle, and the bite is like partially covered with another circle. The leaf of an apple is represented by a semicircle.

Kazumasa Nagai is a representative figure of Japanese graphic design during the period when graphic design in Japan is gradually accepted by the public and plays an important role in Japan's economic take-off. He is a member of Japan Advertising Artists Club. From the early abstract style to the more recent figurative style, his work achieves a huge change. In Nagai's works, there are many fine points, thin lines and decorative symbols to express emotions, instead of using complicated colors to express emotions. Most of his graphic works use most of the space to highlight the drawings , and the text content is at the edge of the page. His graphic design has a great influence on my graphic design about typography, I learned to use some symbols such as dots and lines to decorate the image to express emotions, and if the content of the illustration is very rich, the text can be typed at the edge of the page to highlight the key points.

After exploring the Kazumasa Nagai's grafic design, I redesigned the fact in his grafic style. Firstly, I redesigned the background colors into black and grey blue which are used in the Nagai's work, and added different partterns in mammoth's body. Using paterns like lines or trigangles are often used by Kazumasa Nagai in his work. For layout, I re-designed the layout of the time bar and word content. referring the layout style of Nagai, I made fact words and time at the edge of pages. Fact words are on the top and the time is on the bottom. Besides, I designed the eye of mammoth with circles and lined similar to eyes in Nagai's works.Fact words Patterns TimeEye

” Estimated year by which the woolly mammoth could become de-extinct: 2026” I divided the draft into two parts. The dark part belongs to now and in this part the Mammoth's body is frozen, which means Mammoth still needs be waited to be alive. Another part belongs to future and people can see the real alive Mammoth, meaning there are some progresses in deextinction of Mammoth. I modified the fact word's layout. I emphasized wooly mammoth and year 2026 with bigger size and color like mammoth to let readers know mammoth will come in 2026. I chose orange and brown colors as mammoth’s colors and used short line to demonstrate fur. For the now part the background color is like black and blue to show dark night, and this part of mammoth’s body is covered by ice with transparent blue color. As for the future part, the background is with color like dark ivory white which represents hope and day. The body of mammoth would be unfrozen and obvious. The teeth of mammoth are with obvious white ivory white. For the time bar of on the top of picture, in the now part, the color of time would be brown, while color of time bar would be light white color in future part, making colors different and compared between year 2022 and year 2026. Besides the background is processed with particles, and the whole fact draft’s style would be historical and hopeful to hope mammoth come to alive again. Main

“7%: The percentage of American adults who think chocolate milk is produced from brown cows” In this fact, there is a contrast between white cow and brown cow. The main focus of this page is 7%, American adult, chocolate milk and brown cow. The big brown cow producing little chocolate milk in tank to chocolate milk bottle is obviously near chocolate milk bottle to present that only 7% people think chocolate milk is produced from brown cows. The white cow far near bottle is the reality of production of chocolate milk. The all milk produced will be transported to a huge bottle with a tag showing chocolate milk and flag of America, which helps people understand there is 7 percentage of American adults thinking chocolate milk is produced from brown cows.
The cows’ colors are apparent. The brown cow is with brown and skin colors, and the white cow is with white, black, and skin colors. The milk bottle and tanks’ colors are light blue. The milk’s color in bottle and tank is light brown, while the white milk is white. There is light white line on bottle to represent texture of bottle. The pipe transporting milk is with dark blue green color. The background is with light green color to show natural fresh style. The draft is divided into two blocks with illustration and words separately and clear in vertical line.

“381: The average number of annual spacecrafts launches from 2015 to 2019. In this draft, I divided it into two parts including year 2015-2019 and year 2020.The time bar is placed on the left and top of margins. In year 2020-part, people can see many spacecraft’s launches from Earth to space, while from 2015 to 2019 there is less spacecraft launches. The proportion of launch’s number in 2020 to 2015-2019 is possible about 1282 to 381. The year is displayed on left and top margin. In two parts, I placed tags with numbers on spacecrafts to present the times of lunches. There two big and obvious spacecrafts in two parts with the information of the total average number. The style of this draft is magnificent magazine style. The colors I used in this draft is multiple and colorful to describe the environment of space. The background of space is black with some grey to make draft light. From 2015 to 2019 part, there is a transparent white over the part to make it different to year 2020. The time bar is separated by different degrees of grey. Different planets have different shape and colors. The obvious planet is Earth on the right bottom corner to show that spacecrafts are launched from earth. I used blue and green colors to draw Earth. The spacecrafts’ colors could be grey, red, blue, and orange to separate different spacecrafts. There are white lines on grass to show texture of grass. There are many lines after space crafts to show movement and power.

I chose to design infographic about sleeping problems in China because sleeping problems in China was serious and need to be noticed. Therefore, The main colors are black, grey, white, dark blue and yellow to present night, stars, and people's dark circles. There are some stars to present the night.
On the right of post, there is a doughnut chart with a person who suffers from insomnia. The doughnut chart demonstrates the percentage of people with different levels of sleeping problem, including serious sleep problem, sleep problem always, sleep problem often, sleep problem sometimes and sleep well always. The percentage of people with sleeping problem with different levels account for nearly 80%. Therefore, sleeping problem in China is very serious. Near this 80 percent bar, there is a rose chat to show reasons of sleeping problems and different sleeping problems.

On the left of poster around the chart with a person who suffers from insomnia there are also some data about Chinese average sleeping time, sleeping score between ages and sleeping situation between sex in China. The data that need to be noticed are decorated with yellow. The average Chinese sleeps less than 7 hours and China sleeps 10 minutes less than the international average. It is worth noticing that men sleep less than women, and sleep problems for young people.

I changed the vertical layout to horizontal layout, and combined the data that needs to be emphasized into a large chart on the right. Some other less important data became smaller on the right corner.
