Andrea, here's another find for you. Not quite like your drug infographic, but an interesting classification of drugs.

Hey there. Updated version of project two from after class. Let me know what you think of combining such a technological setting such as facebook with the hand drawn images.

The game of life-style infographic

Hey Claire,

Thought of the Life idea for your infographic when I saw this one:

When couples are most likely to break up

Keep this one in mind when planning your April Fool's jokes..

Some science infographics

This one is awesome because of its use of scale. It's about evolution.

This one is a good example of how to make an infographic interactive. It's about spacecrafts.

This one is also interactive. It's about the Hadron Collider.

Classification of Facial Hair

ANDREA!!!!! Look at the amazingness of this infographic!

Project 2

Here's the initial set up of my project two. I want it to look very realistic, so I'm using the actual site to work from. I think that this is going to end up being very successful.

Is bottled water really that bad?

Amanda, I thought this might interest you.

Are you an addict?

I love when infographics maintain a sense of humor :)

Clown infographic

thought it'd go well with andrea's info graphic

A Couple of Infographics

This first one is about comic book characters. It's fun and uses very little text.
Marvel Family Trees

And this one is about college costs. I think it's really nice looking (I like the monopoly reference), and it's also kind of relevant to our lives.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Revised infographic

Hope everyone had a good weekend! If people wouldn't mind looking at my final infographic, that would be appreciated! I want to user-test it tomorrow. Is there too much text? Are the colors ok? Is everything clear? On the bottom right is the whole poster and then I split it up into 1st and 2nd halves on the left. Thanks!

what we pay for a gallon of...

Interesting infographic that compares the prices of paying for a gallon of different liquids.

So this is my project redone, I will be doing my user testing tomorrow in the late afternoon, so I wanted to get some last minute feedback.

Dots are Back!

I figured since it was difficult for everyone to see the details, I'd upload a .pdf and share it. A few things are different, such as the colors of the map and I've begun to add the dots back in. Let me know what you think :)

Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats - BBC Four

An infographic as a teaching/explanatory tool, used like a weatherman's map. Optimistic data, but very cool technology.

Enjoy!

Cool

A really cool Flickr Group dedicated to Info Graphics

Here's an interesting infographic, someone used google maps to plot out all the mass animal die-offs (over 200 animals of the same species, all within a mile of each other) over the past two years, it was probably much much easier than what I did, but more effective I should say.

I've made some changes and added the rest of the text. I will still be making changes to the text but I think this is close to final.

Infographic! Project 1

I think the images are mostly done, I might have to do a little touching up. Sketches to digital images is new and fun, and time consuming :)
The text isn't finished yet, but the maps are complete, just got to add a key to differentiate between the colors. What do you all think ?

(there is a white border around the image and the text and branches do extend onto it, I realize displaying it here that it has a white bkgd, so the border is lost....)

Updated Infographic - Claire Edwins

My infographic is here. It's kind of small. If this is a problem let me know and I will try to make it bigger.

Infographic

Here's my infographic so far. Pending on your suggestions, I think I am done with the graphics. I am still working on the text, I will be adding more information (and will be moving it around). I know it's a lot of text, but it's very difficult to explain otherwise. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Project 1

Here is the newest version of my infographic.

I also included some more detailed screen shots so that it might be easier for you to see some of the text.

I found out that there were some discrepancies in my data, so I recalculated and I am now in the process of fixing everything.

Project 1

Here is my infographic for project one. I still can't decide what to make my background color.

grain like rain

Here is my infographic, it's probably not that great, but i definitely put a lot of work into it... The purpose is to compare where grain comes from, and where it goes, and what countries can sustain themselves in a food crisis. I was inspired by Russia's ban on grain exports a little while ago, which caused a domino effect, since if a country needs to import large amounts of food, then if other countries stopped exporting, those countries would face a serious problem.
*Note: I noticed the textbox under india is crooked, and fixed that, but it's a lot of trouble to convert to a jpg, so I left this version up.

Some Changes

I've updated my project since the last time I posted, so before you all comment on my last question, I wanted to give you the most up to date version.

My infographic so far!

Hey everyone,
Not sure if you can see this too clearly but this was the only way I could figure out to post it as a jpeg. What do you think of this layout? I decided vertical may be better to create more text space. Is it too much text? (I'm not done with all of it). I am trying to keep it simple with color, so I chose not to use many.

I'm going to be doing volunteering work in Mississippi during break so I will most likely not be able to check this until I get back.

Have an awesome break!!
Amanda

SPRING BREAK :D

SPRING BREAK!!! YAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone has an enjoyable, relaxing break (and that we accomplish a lot on our projects).

Here's an infographic about spring break... http://www.onlineschools.org/blog/spring-break/

Infographic Project

I was wondering what you guys thought about me placing the dots as the background and overlaying the titles and information on top. Let me know what you think please :)
