infographics

Here's one of the posters so far. I went with the line technique because even though I have number/percentage data from my surveys, I kind of wanted to show the trend itself; and in a way that did not literally rely on the numbers. I'm not sure how well it is working, especially since I've been staring at it way too long while working on it, but hopefully it came out alright.

Edit: Okay, not sure how to reply to comments on blogger (seems like it only lets you make a new comment?) But anyway--the lines. I meant for each one to represent a single person from the survey. The warm colors are for girls and the cool colors represents guys. The lines hit different points that correspond to the different question, and the individual choices for each question are connectioned by the few large horizontal black lines in the bg, between the dots. Still working on making the whole thing a little more... comprehensible, if that's the right word?

  1. It looks nice. A very good start.

    Lines seem too thick though, and similar to each other.

    Also, I don't understand your system.
    What do the lines mean?

  2. Oh Brittany!
    I like how it looks too! :)
    But yea, it was a little bit hard to understand what those lines mean...
