Considering that I have to start producing final resolutions for my 'What is a Line?' brief I thought I would start to look at some pieces of information graphics that could inspire me. I visited the website coolinfographics.com and came across a few interesting designs that I liked.

ONE:
Underskin is an infographic that traces the routes of eight different systems within the body (Digestive, Respiratory, Arterial, etc.), and highlights the major connection points. I really like this because even though the composition is in no way similar to the original loop design, you instantly know where the inspiration has come from. It's amazing that even though the design is just coloured lines and circular 'stops', the message is incredibly clear.







TWO:

The State of the Internet. An infographic with a twist, moving imagery. I really like the idea and the video flows effortlessly. The colours used are minimal but effective. If I had one criticism it is that the type moves a little too fast, and it is sometimes difficult to take it all in without pausing the video to catch up.

THREE:
Online daters should no longer be considered a desperate minority that trolls the web for love. In fact, a fascinating infographic from Online Schools reveals the truth about online dating — it’s booming and might even be bigger than porn. Per the graphic — which pulls data from a number of sources, including Reuters and The Washington Post — online dating is worth more than one billion dollars per year, with the mobile phone dating market worth $550 million. Sadly, we all seem to be misrepresenting ourselves to attract an online mate. Men lie about their age, height and income, while women distort the truth about their weight, physical build and age. Though that doesn’t appear to stop online daters from marrying much faster than their offline counterparts, especially should the couple in question have met on eHarmony.
