Narcan Infographic

I chose this infographic on narcan because drug abuse advocacy has been a theme I have stuck to during this course. I think this graphic does a great job of not only telling what narcan does to someone when it is administered but showing it in the form of images as well. Many people don’t understand how many overdose deaths can be prevented with narcan. Additionally, many of these same people don’t know how to administer narcan either. This infographic also shows how to administer a nasal syringe of narcan with the use of simple graphics. I think that this infographic is very simple but it should be so people can learn the importance narcan without being overwhelmed.

I found this infographic available to be used on pinterest at

Information Design How We use Social Media

How Adults and Teens Use Social Media Infographic - e-Learning Infographics

This Infographic was one that I thought was well done. There is lots of visual graphics instead of just stating facts, which gives information to readers quickly. I enjoy the way they broke down the facts into different visuals, instead of just repeating the same visual over and over. The charts are easy to understand when looking at comparisons because you can easily tell which group had used that form of social media most. The color scheme is also something to note. The infographic contains mostly orange and blue, which are complementary colors. The background is a tan color, so it doesn’t take away from the information given. I think this infographic is successful in the way the information is presented.

40 Little Things You Can Do To Break Your Creative Block

Ayannah Newton

This infographic really caught my attention! It, as the title suggests, lists 40 things an artist can do to break a creative block. Although it uses a lot of colors, it is well organized, easy to read, and pleasing to the eye. I found it to be inspirational as an artist myself. Not only does it convey the information well, but it also reminds me of something a young artist may hang in their studio for motivation.

Information Design

In the winter I love to spend time snowboarding with my friends in the terrain park. For the past 5 years it’s been a big part of my life in the winter months. When entering parks, there is usually a sign to signify the upcoming terrain. Most resorts have the universal color as orange, but some signs vary. Another example is shown below.

The reason I find these intriguing, especially the design above is how simple they are. While snowboarding/skiing past you can read and understand the whole sign very quickly. Some riders are faster than others and urgent readability is a must in order to understand what’s ahead.

Designers are unknown.

Environmental Impacts of The Clothing Industry Infographic

I found this infographic interesting to look at because it uses a fairly consistent color palette using the green to highlight the most important areas the clothing industry impacts. There is a visual hierarchy on the page as the larger words and green boxes creates a sense of importance. The use of bold fonts they chose for this does a great job separating the information and highlighting which parts of the text are the most urgent. I also really enjoy how this designer chose to make the waste section pop off the page with the color red since it is the color complement of green. Additionally, this artist added a call to action at the bottom of the infographic which is a nice touch to balance out the dark and heavy feeling the top part of the infographic conveys.

Information Design: Gender Pay Gap

When looking at different infographics this one stuck out to me. I really enjoyed the color palette used for the design. They also didn’t use black instead they used a navy blue and they use a light beiges instead of white which I think give the design a light and less harsh feel than it would have with straight black and white. The titles to each categories really helps me as the reader find out what information can be found and where. It interesting to see the wage gap and how it effects different parts of the world.

This infographic was made by a woman named Heather Griffin, I unfortunately could find its origin.

Information Design

I chose this info graphic because it did a good job of catching my eye out of all the others. Firstly I like how simple it is, it is very neatly broke up into four sections and each one gives you data. Secondly I like the use of color, I like that the Ukraine cites are in color and the equivalent cities are in gray. lastly I like how much information you get from it, but it doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed with to much information. This is definitely due to the nice and neat organization.

Information Design: Art of Layer – Cake

I think the infographic is so cute and effective! The designer of this infographic is Sung Hwan Jang. I love the use of pastel yet still bright a color palette. I love how the graphic includes general information such as the ingredients for the cake and the process of baking a cake. I also love that there is extra information about cake, such as different styles of the pastry bags, types of decoration, and the types of cake.

Unfortunately this graphic is mainly in Korean. It’s an obstacle to fully understand the graphic, however the titles of each section are in English which is helpful. It is also extremely helpful that the graphics can speak for themselves and one doesn’t necessarily need text to comprehend what the graphic is saying.

The Cost of an Average British Wardrobe

This infographic is done by Surgery Redcow for a series called Nutmeg. Click here to see more, but I really enjoyed this one specifically. I didn’t need to do much reading to understand the information, which is key to a strong design. They made use of color to compare both men’s and women’s spending habits when it comes to clothing. The design is very clean and the information is easy to navigate.

The designer also used size as a defining element to visualize the information. The more money spent or the larger the number of items owned impacts the size of the graphic paired with the information. For example, women spend more than men overall and the coin graphic for women is larger. This is used all throughout the infographic making it easier to digest the information while not having to read all too much.
