----- Infographic Mania -----

The post before, True Colors, is an infographic designed by Column 5. On The Creative Finder, their works are displayed copiously enough to satisfy your info-graphic hunger; you can find every subject researched. The graphics grabs your attention and makes you stay. That's the thing about research and its information, at the end it's visually boring. This is exactly when graphic designers enters to the room: fluff it up, powder its nose and dab some concealer over some zits. The liveliness of the research is brighter and breathing. Style-wise and illustrations-wise, these are really right up my own alley, just don't know why I haven't coughed up enough motivation to create some infographics—going on my to-do list of the Summer.

Good + Levis has teamed up to campaign for an environmental cause, a sentimental, detrimental one: water. I'm very much behind this cause because, well, i'm very supportive in fighting against global warming and waste. Most of the things they suggest to do to save water consumption are basic habits we can adapt, I have already a long time ago: my showers take at most 5 minutes; I wash my hair every second day; I wash my clothes every 2-3 weeks, longer if I've only worn the item once/twice; and it's true, if it's yellow, let it mellow!—not ashamed, not ashamed! This interactive infographics is nicely designed to get you to the facts and nothing else. Simple and understood. Good for Levis for bringing this campaign into their brand and starting at line of clothing for using less water; my only cynical call is i hope they are seriously genuine and not just some marketing gimmick like (RED) and other charitable brands, drawing "good" as to increase sales + attention.

Love me some infographics, I'm really loving Good's section of infographics; I think I'm going to attempt to make some myself. This one is particularly different because it does not rely on computer graphics rather real life props to explain the statistics of students' difficulties from transitioning from high school to University.

----- I <3 Infographics -----

I'm going to tell you why I love infographics. It possesses all stimulating aspect of graphic design. The designer would require to pull out almost every trick they own and know in: typography, graphics, illustration, organization of information, text, colour—wait. You aren't sure what infographics are? Simply, they are a collection of data that has been reformatted in a visually arranged system to communicate facts and info to you; in an order that's not haphazardly thrown on the floor to let you sort them out. Aren't we considerate? In Off Book's documentary on typography, which I blogged before, the duo designer, Julia Vakser and Deroy Peraza, brought up infographics and about Good. I went on it, I've seen their stuff in and around design magazines. My goodness, it was exciting. You do not understand. The infographic(ally) designed articles were organized in cohesive formats, using visual tricks and tools. Auugh, delicious.

See the arrangement of the graphics, text, colours are done so well to keep your eyes happy. Data is already boring and having to read it without visual aid would not be a joyful ride.

I adore this way of explaining typography, click on the source to see more.
