InfoGraphic - Evolution of the Controller

Problem: Create a InfoGrahic with Adobe Illustrator

Solution: I created my InfoGraphic early in the semester and I received feedback from my peers and the professor until its completion. I traced over controllers from all eras with the pen tool, then created shadows on them with the opacity tool. I made my timeline resemble a circuit board to emphasize the technology theme. I also did heavy research on each controller to provide factual information for all them. 

Results: I don't know my grade yet but I'm happy with it.
