碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 設計學研究所 === 102 === Humans have been communicated by drawing since thousands of years ago, and this is an inherent ability of humans’ brains. After the development and evolution of civilization, there are many types of creative thinking and performance on images. By the process of creating hand-drawn illustrations and infographics, this study aims to explore social phenomena that were used to people from the past to presence and reflect current social issues happened in Taiwan nowadays. This study employs Comparative Research and Document Analysis to understand how to create infographics and all its styles. By finding some related sources on books, the Internets, news, newspapers, and magazines as references to know those inspiring social issues. After that, this study applies Art Practice Approach and Visual Literacy Theory to know how to express information graphically. By several tryouts, this study creates and understands the process of visual communication. As a result, I exhibit my works to inspire people rethink about current social problems There are lots of information growing and happening right now, during my creating process, I realize it is difficult to collect data because it is not so public to people. On public information and official government websites, we often need open several web pages to find the original sources. In addition, it's important to balance between text and visuals.
