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.

NHS Shock Factor Advert Campaigns.

No doubt you have seen one or more of these shocking adverts produced by the National Health Service, to raise awareness into a number of NHS related issues and problems.

Click HERE and HERE to view some television advertisments from the NHS.


The displayed advertisements are shocking and thought provoking, they capture the target audience making them think strongly about the factual information on the designs. The ads feature strong images with hard factual text making a good combination to combat the audience.

Alfred Hon Lum: Graphic and Media Design

A number of university and college institution's offer Information Design as a specific course area of study. Below are example's of current graphic styling's from some of the institutions.

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.

Semiotically Speaking.

A collection of visual representations, grouped together to depict a meaning for the subject at hand.

The images on their own have a individual meaning, as well as when they are grouped together.

Project continuation....

Ok, so as I'm happily continuing with the brief i stumbled across this Boy Kill Boy music video, for the song Suzie. This i find is very relevant and inspiring due to the use of numbers and drawings throughout the video.



I can relate it to my current work on this project. I like the idea of using numbers and dots in repetitive ways.

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:
Water, Water Everywhere!
Brooklyn Public Library.

Moody...

Initial idea's and mood boarding surrounding the brief based on, Information Design, and the idea to visually represent one of three random facts:

1. The typical person breathes 370,000 cubic meters of air in their lifetime.
2. Half of those who are killed by bombs are the people who were trying to make or set the bombs [off].

3. 100 PEOPLE A YEAR CHOKE TO DEATH ON BALL POINT PENS!



Attracted by the graphic style used to create the UK!
