stuff that a dj (or wannabe) should know: final infographics!

this has been fun. it really has. i'm afraid to say that i like infographics, because that sounds like i think i'm good at them, when i've only just begun, but... this process has been enjoyable, and i imagine that infographics could be a thing i can get good at someday.

my research was a bit eclectic given that there's no grand dj census, but i think that made it more fun. instead of telling people about the dj population, i got to use my research to find interesting, related information that could be educational for both djs themselves as well as people interested in their history and tools. my icons often stood in for the artifacts they represented, but they also stood in for things like live & recorded music and digital & physical albums, as well as loudness/softness. i spent a lot of time trying to get my graphics to hold the same amount of white vs. color as one another. i've also pared down a lot of extra visual information like year-marks and unnecessary boxes, a choice that opens my graphics up a lot more, keeping them from looking too blocky. but now... i'm excited to move forward and put them into a magazine!
