Design Brief

Contest title: Financial Plan Process Infographic
Sub title: Retirement Plan process graphical explanation
Category: Graphic Design

Brand Name:

JB3

Summary: I need an infographic to explain how a retirement plan we have designed works. We will be putting together PDF proposals for potential clients and one page will be this infographic that graphically depicts the interaction between the employer, employees and other interested parties.
Description: We are financial planning company that puts together retirement plans for small businesses. We are looking for an infographic to depict the plan process. We have (very amateurishly) already put together a rough draft to simply show designers the process. We need talented artists to take what we have done and bring it to life with real graphics.
Additional Information: The background should be white and the page layout should be 8.5x11 portrait.
Design Goals: We use deep blues and greys in our logo and in our documents. We want a very professional looking illustration that is easy to understand. I am uploading a slide that we put together that explains the process. Arrows are used to depict something being given from one entity to another and the larger arrows are supposed to show a larger benefit going that way. We are trying to show that both the employer and employee get a large benefit. We have put the benefits in words next to the arrows. Do not be bound by this design. It is meant to be a reference to the designer about how the plan works. If you can illustrate it more clearly another way, please do. The process is written in detail on the uploaded slide.
Design No-Gos: We do not want playful. We do not want bright loud colors. We are trying to put confidence into our prospects that we are professional and they are making a good choice.

#16. The middle should say Deferred Compensation Plan, not JB3.

#16 - Like the blues a lot. Can the bank be directly below the carrier? It Seems wide. It must fit on 8.5x11 portrait. The steps are done well as part of the design but not too flashy. I like how the benefits are laid out in #14 along the curved lines.

#7 would liike a deeper blue and a a less playful picture for the company, carrier and bank. Love the layout and the layout of the steps in the plan. Making the steps part of the design is a nice touch.

Entries 4 and 5 - Nice concept! The blues need to be a deeper blue, not the light blue. I don't want the JB3 in the middle. If you want to put something there, it can say Deferred Compensation Plan. I don't like the % sign next to the carrier. The offset dollars are nice and could be enhanced with a bank building behind them.
