Show & Tell/ Infographics

This is my good infographic:

Taken from Vanity Fair, it's an infographic about Bob Dylan's mind.  This is turning out to be a huge inspiration for my Beatles infographic-I love how they took the inspiration from Milton Glaser's illustration and fashioned it with tons of information in a visually appealing way that's easy to understand! The downside is that it's low res so you can't read it on here.  Boo.




Upon going in search of a bad infographic I stumbled upon  this 
article all about bad infographics.  Examples, what makes them bad, and what could make them better.  Needless to say this was my favorite bad infographic:

Not only do I hate the fact that a salad costs more than a big mac in general, this infographic does a bad job at telling you why.  The 3-D is completely unnecessary and shouldn't they be comparing like information? These two pyramids compare percentages against servings.  Also, the percentages aren't well represented visually.  Maybe the person who made this ate too many Big Macs that day...

Show & Tell/ Call to action

For this week's show and tell we had to find a call to action.  Inspired by the truth's anti-smoking campaign tactics, I found an interesting call to action example:

This conceptual piece calls for current smokers to quit.  As illustrated by the "Quit" logo.  Oh, those Brits are so literal, aren't they?

Show & Tell/ Campaign

Here's a campaign I've been noticing from Springmaid for Target.  They're all very whimsical photographs of women on their beds, in different environments, each with different taglines.  Every time I see one of these campaign pieces I'm inspired to crawl into my own cozy bed.  Here are three pieces of the campaign that I've scrounged up so far:

Show & Tell/Good food writing/Bad food photography

Since it was only last week that I discovered we are expected to post our show and tell objects on our blogs, I have some catching up to do.  Here we go:

Show & Tell #1: Good food writing/Bad food photography

Mmmm...sweet potatoes.  This article is from Real Simple magazine.  I think it does a great job outlining everything everyone should know about sweet potatoes--from how to choose and store to simple everyday recipes that any kitchen klutz can make.  Plus the photo is ace.  Good job, Real Simple!

This picture is an ad I found in the most recent copy of Veg News.  How sad that they're trying to make vegan cheese look appetizing and yet, to me, it looks like paste.  Would you like some Elmer's on your pie?
