Bringing Infographics to Southern Miss

This project was a design first for me: my first infographic. Southern Miss basketball has broken/tied a plethora of records this season and wanted a cool way to show their fans just how strong the program has been. That's where I came in and created this little doodad. For my first go around with one of these, I was very pleased with the outcome, as well with the overall solid response it received on USM's Facebook and Twitter feeds.

I wanted the team and individual records to relate in some way, so I used the same basketball graphic between the two sections. Changing up its use and color scheme between the two helped to delineate the two sections along with the horizontal vs. vertical layout. It was an awesome, challenging experience to put this piece together, and I am sure there will be more on down the road!

Southern Miss Facebook Cover Schedule

"Michael, you can't cram a whole weekend's worth of information into a Facebook cover image!"

Sure you can! And that's exactly what I did with the latest one for Southern Miss Athletics. They have quite the busy weekend coming up and wanted to advertise it on their Facebook page. It was definitely a challenge to get all the information on there in a legible format, but I was very pleased with the end result. I particularly like the extremely faded logo on the textured background behind the schedule. I find that a little texture in the background mixed with some nice shadows gives a good depth to a piece and helps the info pop just a little more.
