This infographic was simple and to the point. When looking at an image such as this I feel people won't be looking at it for long and also won't look at it unless they are drawn to it. It is important to take these two factors into account.
This infographic can really draw someone in because it is very simplistic and emphasizes the point it is trying to make very quickly. It uses not only colorful images but also images that are up to date and used on a daily basis in today's society. By combining a photo with a picture of cheeseburgers along with a laptop and cigarettes it can really get someones attention. In addition, by using money under these everyday used items people will be drawn to it.
This image also gets its point across quickly so whoever is viewing the image can take in all the information without getting bored and turning away. There is no need to look at any of the statistics. You can get a sense of the whole photo just by looking at the images. It gets its point across quickly and efficiently and will leave a lasting impression on the viewer whether it be good or bad more often than not.
Don,
ReplyDeleteThis infographic is good because it is very simple. The use of the black background helps bring the statistics to focus but none are quite staggering. Meaning, the designer isn't trying to make you focus on one aspect of American spending. The designer uses the same font all through out, however the actual percentages should have a bigger font size in my opinion.
