Think about your audience and select the suitable info graphic device.

-This issue had involved a lot of process and information, we personally thinks that diagrams work the best to clearly convey the message.

Organisation Principles

Visual: They might not understand if the video is full of text and information. So she added in visual where it is the easiest way to make the viewer analyze, and utilize for learning.

Semiotics: Complex information, but she uses these types of media because it wouldn’t look boring and complicated. Easy to approach by the viewer. 

Aesthetic Principles

Grid System: They create a neat, horizontally work video. They considered the focal point of the video, where they divided into a few parts to systemize the video consistency.

Color: They use plain black and white drawing. They had make a contrast between the speaker and the background by using bright color clothing on the lady.

Type: Spacing is wisely arranged in the video. Negative spaces are filled with the objects proportionally and align with text.

Communication Method

Interactive Method- It was presented in this way because it is the fastest way to reach the audience. Besides, nowadays people prefer web-based exploration compare to the old-fashion way of doing awareness.

The medium they use was low cost, and free advertising/ sharing in the social network. In this way, video could easily view by the publicity and knowing the existence of this awareness video.
