The End of a Journey

Upon the completion of my first outcome in the part one of the I.T. course I have come to a realization about the fundamentals of mainstream I.T. work, Its filled with a lot (and I mean a lot) of 'Data' and many hours of painstakingly going through the Data to work out all the errors and the kinks within. This coupled with my dis-taste for working in this  manor has completely removed all hope of me being a mainstream I.T. scrub who sits at a desk for endless hours being monumentally bored.

'A Typical Image of Boredom'

Soon after making this realization I set to work finding out how I could avoid this dreadful excuse for a life and I came to a marvelous solution!

'A Eureka Moment'

Become. A. Game. Developer.

Now, Mind you I have been on the side (with some friends) running a small game development company but work has ground to a halt due to the demands of a full education (we all know the feeling). We are working currently on an AMAZING role playing game in 'Cryengine' which is coming together slowly but surely. But that story is for another post, now back to the reason this post exists, I have included my finished Info-Graphic as the final image and It would make me happy if someone no, ANYONE! commented on this post with their feelings towards it (be very critical) and just as a side note it's about an evil company which activated a weather device that makes water evaporate!

Feel Free to Give any Form of Criticism, or nit-picking :)

Info-Graphics and You!

Salutations once again children of the night,

Today we are here to discuss the wonders of the humble 'Info-graphic' and how it can aid you in your many endeavors throughout your journey on this earth.

Firstly, an Info-Graphic is generally a visual representation of information and data in a way which is quite easy to grasp, most of the time Info-Graphics take complex and copious amounts of raw data and turn it into a visually pleasing soiree of ideas and persuasive graphs and information.

'Example of an infographic'

If you're going to make an amazing info-graphic your going to need to use some of these very valuable points which will help you to make a graphic worthy of your dungeon

"Graphical displays should:

• show the data 

• induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production or something else 

• avoid distorting what the data have to say 

• present many numbers in a small space 

• make large data sets coherent 

• encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data 

• reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure. 

• serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation or decoration. 

• be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set.

Any hew I believe that this will have wet your appetite as far as i'm concerned and many more juicy tid-bits of information are available at the above links.

For now I must bid thee farewell.
