Info graphics

Until recently info graphics wasn't an area in which I had explored but after receiving a short brief I soon discovered that it could really be quite fun but also, that it proved really interesting whether I was looking for set statistics or generalised meanings.

'Slaves of the Brookes Ship'

In response to a small brief; 'Precious Cargo', surrounding Hull's past involvement in the slave trade, 1788 I produced the below piece showing statistics of the Brookes Ship and its captured victims. (Piece to be exhibited in Ferens Art Gallery).

To view larger, when open in the viewer please right click and 'open in new tab' for enlargement options.

'Not Just Fleurons'
    
It was suggested through the brief that today the essence of a flower has been lost; the public see them but don't appreciate them the way they should be appreciated.


In response to the brief I created the below outcome which delivers the meaning and origin to some of the most popular flower choices within the UK.
I set myself a target market of 25-40 year olds thus meaning it was to look fairly sophisticated yet still had to grab the attention.




The higher the flower illustration is positioned, the more uplifting its meaning is and so on. 

You will notice that there are horizontal lines running inline with the flower markers, on a final print these areas would be spot varnished to ensure easier reading (and lining up) with it being a long liner piece.

'Wedding Statistics'

As part of a monograph surrounding the theme of weddings I produced the below piece. 

It shows the average time of marriage prior to divorce - the higher the coloured rings climb, the more amount of couples that divorce between the said time period.

(Each full set of rings resemble 5,000 couples)
