Religion vs.

Culture

Design Statement

My infographic will convey, to those who believe that evolution contradicts with religion

directly, that human culture itself is the opposition of belief in God. I am trying to prove

evolution itself innocent, that it is not the cause of lack of religion in today’s view,but instead the

culture is really the cause of religion and it is not a problem, so in question: Does the evolution

of human culture result in the contradiction of belief in God? Sure, human culture has evolved

and in showing how they both remain similar to each other will bring light to those who believe

that evolution is the opposite of belief in religion. The infographic is rhetorically informed by my

research and topic by using the same sources I will be using in my paper, so I am planning on

having the same or similar information for both, so neither will contradict each other. My design

for the infographic is simply split into two separate sides, religion and culture. On the religion

side, I will be highlighting how many believe in a God, how people have combined religions to

fit their lifestyles and how religion is seen as a regular lifestyle for many. On the culture side, I

will be showing how culture has evolved, worldly culture and its impact, along with America

and technology's side of culture. In the top-center I will be putting a graphic of the Earth because

it seems to fit and it ties in to my points that evolution of culture is not tearing religious beliefs

apart. I will also be using stick-men to showcase religious belief populations, with each number

being a certain size. I also have a picture depicting a cluster map of today’s most popular

searches at the ‘beginning’ of my culture side along with an introductory, I thought this would be

a good idea because it ties into my point of culture being similar all around the world and this

map shows it. I chose this block-type layout because it is simple and clearly gets my point across

without being too hard to follow. Everything is separated by designated boxes so information
will not be combined together nor completely separate. I plan on using a minimum amount of

white space because then it would seem empty, but every box will have an even amount of space

between so there is no bleeding between them. The colors I will be using are all analogous to

each other for I will be using; yellow-gold, orange and red-orange, along with the blue and green

from the earth graphic. For my fonts, I will be using one bold-- Hiragino Kaku Gothic Std, one

serif-- Adobe Caslon Pro and one sans-serif-- Apple Symbols, font so it all balances out.

Although there is no clear flow, I find that it not too overwhelming where someone would have

difficulty looking at it, but it also is not confusing to follow because the information from each

box does not exactly flow with each other.
