Infographic

Lately I have been producing info graphic stuff just for fun. I had had to look at some inspiration from google images - 'info graphic' and here are my main inspirations:-

Figure 1 and figure 2


Figure 2
  • Heading - bold, possible in capital letter, 
  • Subheading - bigger and bolder font than the 'other information' except the heading, highlighted with a rectangle background
  • Font - sans serif
  • Illustrations are simplified and legible and are n the middle of the page
  • Block colours - less/no tone and less/no texture

How do you judge your successes?
  • Me please with my work or not
  • How much money I've got :P
