Post #20

This is a humorous for of information design I found on Pinterest a while back, it is sort of an infographic showing you step by step how to fold a five dollar bill so that it looks like Abraham Lincoln is wearing a ball cap. The steps are clear and easy to understand, with no words aside from the title and large letters telling which step is which. While the design serves it's purpose just fine and can be followed, some things could change to streamline it and make it even more simple to follow. The numbers and title could be made darker to make them stand out further, and the placement of each step in space could be changed so that the eye can follow the order easier. My eye for example, was drawn to the first step, and then directly right to the 5th step, instead of going down to the 2nd step. While darkening the numbers could help with this, having more space between the 5th step and the 1st step could help break the graphic into columns, which would make it easier to read.
