infographic

 

My infographic turned out less info and a bit more like a giant illustrative doodle (although there is plenty of facts squished in there too!). In school I used to make big pictures like this to help me study.  

The above photos show the process from start to finish. I really enjoyed this project and wish I'd had more time to do it, however I am happy with what I achieved in the given time.

A month ago I hadn't even heard the word infographic? The dad of the little dudes I babysit mentioned it when chatting after they got back from dinner and Debbie and I both said 'huh? Allan?'. So he explained and suddenly I realised that I already knew what they were and that they're everywhere.

In college we're doing a module with Maeve Clancy (Hi Maeve!) about visualising ideas and conveying information through image alone and so this weekend's project is an infographic.

here's one explaining what why they work

I've been following Good on twitter for a while now and they post some informative (and probably more importantly interesting) infographics on their blog; here's a few:
