Developing My Information Graphic Outcomes (Pt. 2.2)

Today, I continued my new information graphics and worked on the next two-three facts:

• More than 1.5 million people suffer from food insecurity- Map of HK, highlighting 1.5 parts of it
• 19% of people suffering from chronic hunger cannot afford food- Moving pie chart that fills up
• Minimum wage in HK- Kinetic text

I started working on the first fact here by finding a map of Hong Kong online and then editing it online to remove any colour or background. Then, I put this onto my slide, made a copy and coloured this copy green. Using what I learnt from the last week to create a zoom animation effect onto a part of a picture, I applied this knowledge to animating this map. Finally, I added my text and animated everything so that it would all fit in nicely. This is what my slide looks like:

Next I worked on the next fact, I decided to do this by doing a pie chart that slowly fills up to show the 19%. At first, I was planning to use an online software instead of PowerPoint to do this. however, every single website I went on either included watermarks, had a limited amount of animations or didn't have this type of graph. Therefore, I decided to create my own on PowerPoint. This took a longer time than any other animation but in the end, I figured it out and I am pretty pleased with my end-result. 

To my the pie-chart even more interesting, I decided to instead of plainly writing 19%, I made this counter that kind of looks like an odometer. This was what the two slides looked like:

Next I started working on the third statistic. My plan was to simply do kinetic text animations to show the minimum wage in Hong Kong but after some thought, I found this too simple and boring. Therefore, I decided to reuse my previous 3D Steps graph for this statistic. I did this by deleting two levels of the steps so that there will be 3 steps to fit how the minimum wage got altered for three different times. On each step, I showed the year it got increased and how much the minimum wage was. Moreover, I included an icon of a person walking up the stairs as the animations went on. I split up this animation onto three different slides but I only completed the first slide out of three today.

The first slide looked like this:
