Infographic development

This was the original info graphic, its shows the difference of high middle and low income country and average biocapicity, and this is measured along the years, I think that this information isn't appealing to look at and I didn't feel that the lines represented the scale between them. And the worlds biocapcity line doesn't stand out as they are all different colours anyway. 

And so I looked at how I could 

I drew each country in a different colour with no fill so that I could see everything else, I did this by putting an anchor point on each line of the diagram- for each year, 

Anchor points for each year... 

I then coloured each section in different shades of blue, I kept an opacity 

Next inforgraphic, 

Original:

I decided to make this info graphic, into a bar chart after something I'd seen previously, I thought that the set up would be a good way to visualise the information, and it would show the comparisons better, as you would be able to see the amounts easily. 

For the charts I added different patterns, just to make them more interesting, the blue opaque box shows the safe-zone/ safe-limit. 

Final Chart, the levels of the largest columns show the intensity of the problem. As they are all on a horizontal you can see them clearer than before.

I then looked at the way I could represent the information about the animals (below) 

I thought about a circular diagram, that would show the levels, 

I then took away the black lines and added the information to the key. 

I wanted to show the almost halfway infographic within the year 2014, and so I explore days in which I could do this. 

I didn't like the diagonal lines, they where too much, and so I changed the way I was approaching the separation, and I looked into the colours. 

I really liked the blue, you can see something is disappearing and you can see there is a level. 

Econnomy, Social and Economic Domain Info graphic, 

I wanted to show how the three interlink, I felt that the original did not make it clear enough that the three link but there is a tiered system. 

And so I wrote out the words, 

I thought about creating images that would match the words with an image, but I wanted them to be simple. 

And then showing them inside one another,  but I felt that the whole thing became too confusing to look at and I didn't like the representation of a person. 

And so I began to look at type and how I could use them to link the domains and show a hierarchy.

I changed the colours, black stands out more than the blue and I felt that the words about the explanation of the diagram where more important then the actual domains, I also separated each domain by small lines, so that its obvious that there are three separate sections. 

As well as this the type that states the domains goes from big to small , as the ecological domain is the world, and then social is people and economies is money. 

Footprint by country infographic

I decided that I would convert the chart into circle, and each category would be represented by different shades of blue.

Firstly I looked at how I could show the bubbles, the size of the circle would be the size of the overall footprint, and then the circles need to show the amount of each different type of carbon, 

And so I decided it was more appropriate and easier to interpret when the circles are inside one another you can measure the amount by the distance from each circle. 

I tried to see what it would look like if the circles came from one side/point, but this made the circles look less circular, and there was an unequal measure. 

I could then add the name of the country. 

Then was the info graphic below, which where solutions, I felt that the icons where good, and the colours, however this wouldn't fit within my design, and I thought about how I could do this differently.

I looked into the idea of solutions, and levels and jars.
