My hope is that people who have been interested in pottery see my graphs and are intrigued to start themselves. In addition I hope that viewers are intrigued enough to see the work that I have made based off my resume. My key message is that pottery is a skill that you acquire, as my quote refers to. Many people realize how difficult pottery is, especially wheel throwing, once they have tried it themselves. Not only is it hard to make pottery but also the technique of keeping the clay wet or dry and maneuvering around the kilns and glazes.
As shown even from my thumbnail sketches, I wanted the viewer to see the image of my piece first. From that, people will be drawn to the text on that image of pottery and then the similar text telling them to buy my pottery. After, they will be curious about what the information is explaining in the graphs and diagrams. If I were to redesign this I would have given the link to my Depop account, but at the time my username seemed best to put. I struggled with how long it took me to make the individual graphs and then put them all together. I had a hard time making space for everything on one page and was unsure at the beginning how to make all the diagrams readable.

PASS. This is an excellent visual resume. The hand drawn visualizations are wonderful and intimate, and would love to see even more color or hatching to draw attention to these well made charts. Overall, there is a lot of white space, and the composition could be centered more as in your thumbnails. An upturned bowl sends a strong message and enlarging and moving it to center would make it an even stronger and bolder statement. Or maybe even putting that bowl in the center of your mind map? Also, the red against the dark grey clay does not offer enough contrast. Perhaps an even lighter shade would make the words stand out more. In any case, this is fantastic. Well done on a unique expression and beautifully designed infographic.
