Here’s some of the information graphics I created in 2009 while working at Click Suite. These featured in various reports such as online strategies and concepts.
I started to experiment a bit more, beyond the usual bar-graph, but I have a long way to go before I’m in the same league as the visualisation gurus featured on sites such as Flowing Data, Information Aesthetics and Xplane.







Top notch.
Some people might wonder if it is worth spending the time going to this level of visual analysis as part of a business process, but having worked with you I guess you put them together relatively quickly.
Am I right?
Hi Katie – in most cases these took no longer than a day. There’s a lot of evidence that most people recall visuals more than facts and figures, although some argue the opposite! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_picture_is_worth_a_thousand_words
Hi your tsunami graphic is awesome! I would love to be able to use your NZ map for a diagram i am doing in visio. Any chance you would send it to me?
Thanks
Hi Lisette – thanks for your comment. I’ve emailed you the Visio file – let me know how it turns out!
Zef – I’ve been “googling” infographics and all seem to be created by either Photoshop, Illustrator or other highly expensive graphics-based applications. Your infographics with Visio are amazing! Would you mind sending me some samples (visio format) so I can do a “reverse engineering” on them to see how you went about building the graphics? I currently use Excel and Powerpoint in creating my work and already get the “wow” from my clients but I see Visio as my “next step up”. Thanks in advance!
Chi – I’ve emailed you my Visio file for the tsunami infographic. Visio is a very powerful and flexible programme, but Illustrator does allow you better design tools (the downside is that it’s not intuitive to learn and use – bring back Freehand!).
