Infographics

A quick mock up poster of some of the different hair colours and pantones found within a group of a 100 people surveyed in Graphic Design. After creating the previous simple graph i decided that i could pantone match a 100 peoples hair this way i could get much more colour information and produce a fair more complex info graph. The only criticism i personally had about this graph is that the whole poster was about colour but i used black, white and grey as i found working with black, ginger, blond and brown was a bit boring... so i had to go away and rethink my colour scheme.

This is the 2nd little info graph i produce this was influence by looking at a tubemap. All the coloured lines represent a catagory of pantone as a lot of people had brown hair but they necessarily didn't have the same brown pantone, this graph gives you the idea of how many pantones each hair colour has. This was done on a small scale of 50 people i surveyed to save time and to make sure it work well as a visaul. I didnt like the typeface i used on this mock up somehting with a bit more weight would of been better. More pipes would be needed in the actaul 100 person survey poster as well and i might not be able to fit all the legs on it properly. Also an improvement would be to colour match each pipe to its corresponding pantone. 

This is a pie chart i produced each segment represents a specific pantone and its sized to specifically to how many people i found to have had this specific pantone in their hair, this made it easy to see which pantones are commonly found. I found that there were many brown pantones but within those brown pantones i found more of one specific pantone then another and this graph helps to represent that more clearly. The only criticism i had was that in illustrator i couldnt prefectly match the pantone swatches to the segments this meant i basically just choose a colour as close as i could find, so to improve this i decided to move onto photoshop which had the full pantone library's.
