Infographics



Infographics is a visual representation of information or data, Jonathan Barnbrook as well as doing brandalism he created ,"the little book of shocking global facts", which is a book full of infographic art in it to show global disasters in a more eye catching and digital way instead of a poster.
To me I'm drawn to his work visually as it has a lot of bright colours and shapes which helps move you from one page to another effectively. This has inspired me to try and use colour and shapes/arrows to help the audience through the book as well as think how big/small some images/shapes should be.


The website RightsInfo uses simplistic graphic design images to create an interesting yet informative piece of work to show/explain our human rights. To me the contrast in the background and colourful foreground, this works well as your eye is drawn straight to the colourful imagery, the use of text is also very effective as its above the imagery as well as being big enough to see and gets straight to the point.

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience.

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
