Research- Infographics

Cake

Jing Zhang created a series of Illustrated infographics similar to this one, displaying how our daily objects work. The colour scheme works really well with the subject of cake, and I really like Zhang's unique illustrative style and simplicity. The facts are clear and easy to read, and icons have been used wherever necessary and possible.

Beagle Training

This infograph portrays the subject of Beagle Training and contains information about both the breed in general and tips for training. Graphs and bars have been used to visually display the facts and are very eye catching to the viewer. Having a photograph of the beagle helps establish the subject quickly and visually.

The DNA of a Successful Book

The DNA of a Successful Book displays facts about men and women preferences to books, who reads books and the number of pages within best selling books. The colour scheme of this infograph is very quirky and inviting. The Illustrative style is minimal, however the use of texture adds and element of realism and complexity. I am very fond of this subtle contrast.

X-Men Family Tree

http://visual.ly/x-men-family

This infograph portrays the family tree of the X-Men characters from the original Marvel X-Men comic series. Each character has been redrawn in the artists own illustrative style, and simplified by including distinguishing features and only displaying faces. Colour is used effectively in this piece as a classification method attracting our eyes to whats important- who's related to who?
