Rationale

I believe my design meets the requirements of my Info-graphic theme by completing its main objective of teaching the users the techniques of shooting an Inline Hockey Puck along with some interesting facts and other helpful tips. It discusses reasons why we do some of the techniques and ideas of shooting to help users understand it more thoroughly. It uses easy language and explains Unknown vocabulary to target. It targets beginners ranging from youth to seniors as I stated in my idea. It has a simple soft design to make it easy for users to understand and depict the symbols and pictures. I made a simple interface easy for younger users as well as seniors not that techno-savvy will still able to navigate through my design also with the Easy step by step flow incorporated makes its available for everyone. No complicated interactivity for users to help the steady flow of information.  I’m overall happy with my finished product and have sent it through to some of the parents of the children I coach and they thought it was helpful for themselves to understand yet they don’t play and has encouraged them to get more involved with their children learning how to shoot with the stuff they have picked up with the Info-graphic. I have also been told that the children found it very easy and breezed through the design and enjoyed the “Slap shot” segment as they all want to know how to do that Big shot at a young age.
