Research on Info-graphics

Starting this project I wasn't really understanding the assignment as well as I should. I started looking through the suggested links such as http://visual.ly and the other website: http://www.flipflopflyin.com/flipflopflyball/othersports.html

I realized that I was very excited about this project because I love info-graphics. I find them fun and interesting. So now what what do I find interesting enough to illustrate? What could I share with the class that would be both interesting visually and mentally?

I love infographics that lead a person with "yes/no" answers to a final box. Things that are interesting to me and that I would like to try to do a yes no chart on:

Which dog should I go with? I would ask a series of questions asking people what their life style is like, what they want to do with a furry friend, and where they live. These questions would lead the person to make a decision to is a bulldog a good idea or a husky. I was a dog trainer for a few years and I offered people this service so I have a lot of built in knowledge of this. 

Wine pairings that go along with food. I love wine, but after a few bottles wine does not like me. However, I have friends that always ask me to pick out a wine for them for dinner, but I am always telling them to just experiment and get what they want or what they like. Inevitably it falls on me to pick up a wine that will go with the meal. I think a simple graphic of having a meat course or the main course with a selection of white or red and then a further break down of the different categories of each white vs. red for different foods.

Found the above link to be an amazing website that would offer a lot of information.

Another idea that would be a lot of fun is I am always running out of books to read. Having an infographic that allowed me to choose a book that I might like based on certain key parts that I might enjoy would be awesome. I could start by creating a starting point and asking if the reader would want fiction or non fiction or self help. From each one I can branch off from each section based on main plot ideas. 

NPR created a fun interactive guide to a lot of books

This the editorial process pic that I have started for Computer Drawing class.

The Oatmeal is one of my favorite illustrators who uses his website to blog, and create various comics, satire pieces, and horrible holiday cards. A local Seattle resident, he goes by Matt and has been creating webcomics since 2009.

The artist Mike Mitchell is a great example of fun, twisted, and slightly off beat illustrations. I like looking at his designs due to their boldness, the uniqueness of the designs, and use of clever illustrations.

The third illustrator I like to turn to is Olly Moss. His designs are very distressed looking, independent of what most people consider the norm. He lives in the U.K.
