Types of Infographics
Maps - For data intrinsically linked to a geographical location, using maps to visualise it is the most effective method
Process or How-to - Directional cues take the viewer through a series of instructional steps
Exploded View - Each component of a product is separated in the order of assembly to get to the core of how it works
Comparisons - Two or more similar, or dissimilar, things are compared side by side to highlight their distinctions
Interactive - The viewer can interact with the animated infographic by clicking on various components for a closer look or to influence the content in some way
Data Visualisation - In-depth information can easily be communicated with Venn diagrams, pie and bar charts, line graphs
Kinetic Typography - For infographic videos especially, animated visual text conveys more abstract information
Timeline - A chronological visualisation of how something has changed or evolved over a certain time period
Hierarchy - Various components making up a single subject are arranged in order of importance
Informational or List - Text-heavy rather than number-heavy, ordered lists hold people's attention

Feedback
After discussing what I had currently produced, it was agreed that while I had made a nice looking poster, it didn't meet the criteria of an infographic. I need to go back to my initial thumbnails and ideas to develop this further.
|
|
Made some icons for each of their album and had the idea of representing the number of each one by physically repeating them over and over.
Concept 3
|
|
|
Couldn't find a layout I was happy with so ignored this idea for a bit.
Concept 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tried widening the range of colours but decided it looked better with a limited colour palette.
Concept 5/6
|
|
Needed to get the simple but fun ideas out.
Concept 3 Returned
|
Happy I managed to fit everything together to make the outcome I had originally envisioned.
