I went to the library and borrowed ‘Cool Infographics’ by Randy Krum. I really liked this book, especially the chapter on ‘Visual Explanations’ which shows what makes a good visual info graphic without using statistics and numerical data, which is what I was panicking about when we got the brief. My favourite info graphic that was shown was ‘Figure 2-13: A 10-step process designed as a visual explanation info graphic’ designed by Rae Hoffman. It showed simply three colour-coded characters on a path to show a certain sequence of events. (pg 78)

This design has inspired me to do something similar with maybe the events on Einsteins life, or the 8 years of developing his theory of relativity.

After being given our brief on creating a website / mobile device prototype and an A2 poster with infographics, I decided to go back in ‘Pinterest’ to have a look at some examples to inspire and influence my ideas. Most of them I found that a lot involved numbers/ percentages and graphs. This panicked me slightly as I couldn’t find any numbers/percentages that related to Einstein and his theory of relativity. However, after a discussion with Chris and a little more research, I found that you don’t need to convey ‘percentage’ data to show information through graphics. I made a mood board of my favourite ones.
