DigitalPay Infographic Design Challenge

Welcome to the DigitalPay Infographic Design Challenge. In this challenge, we are looking to create a visually engaging infographic that can be used to market DigitalPay's vision for their Human Resources technology systems.

The infographic will be used on a variety of DigitalPay's marketing collateral, including posters, mousepads and screen savers. DigitalPay is a global company that gives people and businesses a safe way to digitally send and receive money online, in a store or from a mobile device. They have created a new vision (called a VisionMap) for their Human Resources technology systems. We want to explain that VisionMap using an infographic.

Good luck! We can't wait to see your designs!

Note: "DigitalPay" is just a codename.

- An alternate theme is making order out of chaos. There has been a frenzy of things happening across our organization and with our technology systems. Our vision, will help us move from a chaotic state, to an orderly state, and on to a heightened state of efficiency by using our HR Technology systems. We want you to come up with icons and imagery to help support these themes or come up with your own visual theme that helps illustrate the infographic goals.

- - - - "Reimagining our people technologies."
