EUROPEAN UNION LABOUR


Hello bloggers!

 In today's post I am showing you an infographic related to the EU labour. I decided to create two bar charts: one explaining the employment rate in 10 countries and the other where the viewers can see the difference between the total population, the employment and the unemployment. Also I've drawn five pie charts.

I decided to use blueish colors but, in order to "break the uniformity",  I used red wine colors in one chart.
I put some figures because the chart is representing the quantity of humans.

Hope you like it,

Until next time!!

PUBLISHER TRAINING EXERCICE

Hello bloggers!

In this practice we had to create a 4-column tab-sized document for a digital newspaper that contains three stories in order to "recreate" an original journalistic publication. 

With text that has been provided to us, we had to structure it and add some pictures. The idea was to make it as journalistic as possible, to look like a real publication.

Here I leave you my work and hope you like it.

Until next time!!

SOLAR SYSTEM

Hi to you all!!  Today I show you a chart we did in class. 

From an interview related to the solar system, we had to create an infographic. I decided to recreate the planets and the sun. Now it's finished, and with some time passed, I think it is absolutely not a good infographic. First of all, the text is too "embedded" and is hard to read. It becomes very heavy to understand what the text says, and for the view, it is not related to the image.

I expect you to leave your comments, and see if you think the same as me.

Until the next time!!

OTHER MATE'S CV


Hello bloggers!! Today I show you some CV's that my classmates did along the course.  I am going to give my point of view about each one.

The first one is from Helena Casasempere. I think it's more decorative than functional because there's a lot of things that could be avoid. It's more dens than light, and multidimensional. I found it quite original because of the types of graphics she decided to put. It is novlety because she don't repeat any information. An to finish, it is more abstract than figurative. 









This one is from my classmate Enric Trias. I think its half abstract half figurative because we can identify some people and a music note. It's quite functional and light. I found it unidimensional and quite familiar because of the structure of it. It is novel because the information is not repeated. 



ART HEISTS


Hello everybody!! Today I bring you an infographic related to an art thief in Boston. 

With the information I had, I decided to recreate a map and explain the path of the thieves step by step. To complement the map, I decided to create a chronological sequence of events to explain what the thieves were doing at each step. I thought it would be good to simulate a human figure with the image of the stolen works, to give the reader more information.

With another source of data (other international robberies) I created another infographic. A world map where I have located the robberies geographically.

Until next time!!

PATHFINDER



In this activity we learnt about how to use the "pathfinder" in order to create exact figures. 
It was quite simple and easy.

See you next time!!

AIRCRAFT CRASHES


In the following project, "Aircraft crashes", the teacher gave us an excel with the important data we should use. We had complete freedom to choose the data that we considered the most important in order to crate our own infographic starting with our own idea, but we must necessarily enter data from 1999 to 2009. 

I decided to take a world map and categorize the number of impacts by color depending on each country. The categories range from 1 to 5 impacts, 6 to 10 impacts, 11 to 20 impacts an the last one is more than 20 impacts. To make it more interesting, I crated another chart with only the Top 5 countries with more crashes: USA, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia and Russia.

 I think it's a very simple infographic very easy to understand. Hope you like it!
