- brief -
As a volunteer with the Pokémon Go News Crew at Pokédex100, I create bi-weekly infographics for Pokémon Go
events, focusing
on Community Day charts, which are the most significant events each month. These graphics serve an audience
of over 500k trainers, providing essential updates and information about the game.
- context -
The Pokémon Go community is vast and active, with Community Day being a major monthly event that attracts
significant attention. Effective communication of event details through infographics is crucial for keeping
the community informed and engaged.
- problem statement -
The challenge is to provide clear, visually engaging, and accurate information about Community Day events to
a large and diverse audience. The graphics need to capture the attention of players and convey key details
efficiently.
