Information Graphics


The image above is what you would class as 'information graphics' this is because its a poster/leaflet thats informs the reader about how to pitch a ball but uses graphics and diagrams to help show this. This is good because it makes it easier for the viewer to understand the concept of pitching a ball, it also makes it more interesting instead of just reading a page of text there are diagrams that you can look at and help you evaluate what you doing right and wrong. 


                                                     

This is a chart of informative graphics that shows how much oil we used how much oil where wasting and how long we will have oil for. This is good because its tackling a social issue and showing you the problems we are faced with and what where going to be faced with in 29 years when we run out of oil. This is a very easy piece of information to understand due to the use of diagrams and pie charts and graphics used. 



                                 

This is a piece of informative graphics thats about Tsunami's in New Zealand. It shows in a table which areas in New Zealand are at high risk from a Tsunami hitting them and medium risk and a low risk. For each of these areas there is information about how high you should go up (meters) or how far across you should go with the direction (meters). The is also a piece of information graphics in the top corner which shows how far the epicenter is away from New Zealand.  I like this piece of graphic information because it shows clear and important information in a graphics based way, its also very easy to understand and i think it would be hard to explain this in any other way without graphics. 


                             

A piece of informative graphics about if the levels of alcohol changed from 80mg to 50mg per 100ml would it affect how many drinks a driver would have to be over the limit. The piece of information is translated across using graphics and a chart showing how much you would be over or under the limit after 2 hours drinking at 50mg and 80mg, there is one both for man and women all average weight and average height. The charts are easy to understand with the colour coded circles, there is also a key underneath so you can read the graph and understand it. 



This is a informative piece of information about the use of the internet. It uses charts, pie graphs all sorts of different charts and graphs to give out information about the internet. There are a big collection of graphs and charts giving information such as which age groups use the internet most, are desktops or laptops uses more, if men or women use the internet most, all these questions and answered with colour coded graphs and charts i think this is great its gets the information across in a easy way to read.
