Infographical Artworks and Inspiration



I love the above image of A-Z design classics featured in Square magazine.

Brahm:Opera North

I am a fan of how Brahm use a variety of type and image in their designs produced.


I am inspired by the strong images used and the factual type over laying the imagery. The point and reason is clearly portrayed in the designs in a simplistic yet effective ansd stylish way.

There are many designs available by a number of designs who also utilise this design idea.

Brahm:Republic Design

These designs from Leeds based design company, Brahm use photography and sharp graphic styling to donate the type of brand Republic is. The designs are aimed towards a target audience similar to the target audience I am aiming for in this breif! The atitude of the brand is captured through the visually engaging campaign posters.


Brahm, a Leeds, UK based independant communications agency, have a wide client list including Metro (West Yorkshire).A popular and exciting piece of Information Desgin.

How Obama reinvented Campaign finance.

A very recent infographical campaign design by XPLANE, detailing president Obamas effective way's to raise money through the power of the American people.
The successful ad ad campaign has been universally viewed via the web and publications, over 11,000 times in over 100 countries. It uses typography and images, created with few colours in neutral tones.

Attract. Engage. Evolve.

In order to continue with the brief at hand, I have researched a number of design agency's which i will 'use' as clientele when designing the Infographical artwork for.

I will be looking at SKAGGS, 'a creative powerhouse', located in New York and San Francisco.

I found some of there recent work very inspiring and relevant to the design brief i am currently working with! Take a look for yourself:
