Project Statement
“The Definitive Guide to Kissing,” infographic, blends research and design in a way that captivates and presents the language of affection. Illustrations and icons define the infographic’s visual narrative, and the content references various sources, including the BBC, Healthline, and GQ Magazine. Royalty-free imagery from Unsplash and Pexels transforms into icons using Adobe Illustrator. Background patterns of pinks, creams, and whites connect with love and divide the content into sections.
The blend of two sans-serif fonts, Area Normal Regular and LTC Globe Gothic, alongside the script font, Caprizant Bold, evokes warmth and excitement. The script font, Caprizant, captures the viewer’s attention as headers guide readers to each new section. The sans-serif fonts seamlessly organize content and share insights into kissing’s origins, various kiss types, traditional styles, and the psychological rationale behind this universal gesture of love.
