I thought that this was really interesting because I never really think about how much time I spend doing each of these things. It communicates the information through color coding and the circle. I also like how clear and simple it is, and how it’s not very crowded. I can steal how simple it is.

I like how it conveys a lot of information in a variety of formats (quotes, images, fonts). I also really like the timeline because when looking at something historical, it helps to have a timeline. It’s also graphically really pretty. I can steal how it isn’t super crazy to look at even though it has a lot of information.

Well, it’s Harry Potter and I’m a nerd so of course I like that. It’s also really cool design-wise, with all the images and effects. I really like the color scheme as well. I can steal some of the cool ways to communicate information (all those bubbles and fonts and stuff).

I have a Pinterest so I think that this is really interesting. It’s also really professional looking, and it communicates information through text and really simple images. I can steal some of those cool pie chart and graphic image ideas.

As someone who enjoys marathon watching television shows, I think that this is really interesting. It’s also really simple to look at which can help with something like this. It uses images and text to communicate the information. I can use how non-overwhelming it is.

Pregnancy Nutrition
This infographic is great because it uses clean, appealing colors and images. Additionally, it makes its point effectively by using carefully selected examples that will effectively convince the target audience to follow the infographic publisher's desired course of action for the audience.
iPhone Basics
This infographic is sweet because again it uses clean, appealing, modern colors and simple, accessible designs and language.
Olympic Data-Blast
I like this infographic even though it's a little overwhelming. Fun way to take in a bunch of info, uses clean colors but a little too busy.
Obesity
This is good, as it has an appealing, accessible design and nice color, but it does have some awkward empty spaces. It does a good job of not keeping the data organization too linear, and mixes up the graphic with slanted lines and organic shapes.
Obesity 2
This one is good but a little text heavy. It's clean though, and highlights compelling info effectively.
http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671493/infographic-the-evolution-of-the-batman-logo-from-1940-to-today
This infographic is cool because it shows the evolution of the Batman Logo. In the beginning, 1940, the Batman logo shows a man in a bat suit, while in 2012, the newest version, clearly shows a disfigured bat. What this demonstrates is the evolution of movies as well in the United States. Movies that were rated "R" during the 40s can now be considered "G" in today's society. The style that I could steal from it is the representation of history, how it shows the Batman logo and how it has changed.

https://hbr.org/2014/09/ceos-get-paid-too-much-according-to-pretty-much-everyone-in-the-world
This is a cool infographic because it shows the inequality between someone who is a CEO and an unskilled worker. What it communicates is how much CEOs are getting paid and are able to maintain an easy way of living, while someone who is considered an unskilled worker is most likely to earn a minimum wage job and forced to have a harder time. The way the graphic is designed is REALLY cool and I enjoy it a lot.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/20/upshot/data-on-transfer-of-military-gear-to-police-departments.html?abt=0002&abg=0&_r=1
This is a cool infographic because it shows how many police stations in the US have benefits from the military. What this is communicating is the areas in the US that need military equipment because of probable threats. The use of the US map and bolding which areas have military equipment is very cool and shows very clearly who has more firepower and who does not.
http://www.fastcodesign.com/3031349/exclusive-infographic-the-great-wheel-of-food-mashups
This is really cool because it shows foods that chefs can mash up together to make an even tastier treat for others. What it shows is which foods can be mixed with, so a donut and a croissant would make a yummy breakfast treat. This website could lead to more food combinations and for businesses more money. What I like about this style of infographic is that it is interactive and when an image is clicked on clearly illustrates which food is yummier with another.
http://nymag.com/health/bestdoctors/2014/genius-sleeping-habits-2014-6/
The reason I enjoyed this infographic is because it demonstrates the sleep cycles of famous, creative artists. What the infographic is trying to show is that these famous people were more creative during the night. The use of the circle graph, makes it more artistic and also demonstrates the creativity of the creator.
http://dailyinfographic.com/love-money-the-real-cost-of-valentines-day-infographic
I like this infographic because it has a nice color palette and shows information in a very linear style, which is very effective. It all flows really nicely and isn’t choppy. I would use the same kind of cohesive color palette and vertical layout.
http://dailyinfographic.com/how-much-is-student-loan-debt-costing-you-infographic
This infographic is effective because it has shocking (in a good way) color contrast and good diagrams. It’s very easy to interpret and moves from a small scale to a larger one. I would use the same format in terms of moving from an individual level to a global level.
http://dailyinfographic.com/trick-or-treat-the-best-and-worst-halloween-candies
I like this infographic because it’s fun and appealing to look at. There is a clear contrast in the information the graphic is trying to convey. When making a comparison infographic, I would use a similar layout.
http://dailyinfographic.com/tips-to-avoid-counterfeit-goods-on-cyber-monday
It’s effective because it is compelling to take action and follow through with what the graphic is trying to get people to do (be aware of counterfeit goods on cyber monday). It’s also a topic that people would be interested in reading about, which gets the viewer to actually want to take the time to read the infographic. Additionally, I really like the positivity that is conveyed by the little robot characters. I’d want to take the same concept of using cute characters that make the infographic more appealing.
http://dailyinfographic.com/shocking-facts-about-the-american-corn-industry-infographic
I think this infographic is really effective because it’s short and concise, but also informative. That’s really hard to achieve but this infographic does it by bolding the most shocking numbers that make the information intense and seem more important. I’d use the same bolding technique to highlight information that will immediately grab people’s attention.
