First infographic Options

[rickysaurus]

This is for my statistics final project of sorts. Basically we have to make a survey of our own and the topic my group wanted to do was... to see if a person's favorite color determines their personality.

So each small bar represents one person and the color that they chose to be their favorite color, lined up with the personality that they chose to most closely represent them. I want to try to keep the elaborations to a minimum because I want to see if a fresh set of eyes looking at it for the first time would understand it without any explanations.

i like it a lot. My one thing is that its kinda hard to read the font thats on the leafs and around the pedals.

[digitalfragrance]

This is awesome!!! I really don't have much to say, except for suggesting that you try to use less color in the petals/sky to emphasize the small bar colors in your graph. I was a overwhelmed at first. But this is so cool. Props to you!

I agree. Make it a little more functional.
I think you should make a...a...those things on maps. Like to mak it easier to read, so you dont have to tilt your head, put like a brown box and do equals and the percentage there.

The only thing I think you should change is the font for the black text, except the text for the stem it's big enough to be readable.

[tokyo-rose]

Interesting. I like the idea of putting the bars on flower petals.

[schizo]

It looks fantastic, as usual. I kinda agree about the font being hard to read, though. I mean, I could pretty much figure out what everything says, just not instantly.

[rickysaurus]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll bring the font size up a few points.

Everyone understood the data though right?

[manny-the-dino]

Oh my gosh this is such a cute idea! I like it a lot. But yeah the only thing I would change is the font to make it easier on the eyes. But great job! :D

[rickysaurus]

Update:

[livwho]

Better, but the black words on the petals crowd the design. I say keep the number, but don't include the same text over and over. Rather create a key somewhere in the design that explains what the numbers mean. That's just my opinion. Otherwise, it looks really good. I love the colors.

[Mikeplyts]

It looks great as usual, but it's still a bit hard to instantly read the data as Gabi (schizo) mentioned. Otherwise, excellent job!

[ForgiveTheSinner]

Actually I was a bit confused reading it...maybe I'm just slow but it's cute.

[manny-the-dino]

It looks crowded, imo. I think I liked your first version better because the text warp or whatever it's called looked cool.

[none345678]

I think maybe if the white text was justified it would look a little more neater.

[rickysaurus]

Update:

[manny-the-dino]

Hmm I think it's cute. I can't really find anything to comment on.

[none345678]

I think it's great. Is everyone in the class making theirs as fancy? lol I don't think I would ever spend that much time on something for a statics class.

[rickysaurus]

Nah, it's just me, because I'm not good at math and I didn't learn any statistics for the entire year because I'm always sleeping, I just thought I overdo the visuals since I didn't want to be the dead weight in my group. Plus I'm hoping for the extra credit since I need that too :P (horrible student).

It's funny the mixed responses I'm getting. Over at the Graphic Design Forum I get a lot of negative critiques but over here I get positive responses. I wonder if its just the demography of the two boards...

[rickysaurus]

[Eww]

These are all too pretty :x -Jealous-
The bee line thingies are really neat.
I has nothing bad to say.

[rickysaurus]

why do i see so many boobies avatars from that girl in snsd.

[none345678]

lol I had it because I like the word boobies, she made the avatar, and I don't know why the other guy has it.

The bee idea is soooo cute!

[rickysaurus]

i like boobies too. i mean the word. lol.

What kind of things are they saying? It's probably different here because most of us aren't extremely stuffy art aficionados. I see the site as mostly a place for people to learn, so insignificant details and all that jazz don't matter much....if that makes sense.

The graphic you just posted looks fantastic, by the way.

[rickysaurus]

Thanks uhm Abbey right? and schizo... I haven't learned your name yet, sorry.

A lot of the critiques were centered around the legibility of the visual. Most of them didn't think it was easy to read or easy to follow. They didn't understand how to read the visual, but when they turned to the paragraph for an explanation, apparently that was too drawn out and boring, and the font choice didn't help the ease of its legibility. Yup.

[emberfly]

i like it a lot. My one thing is that its kinda hard to read the font thats on the leafs and around the pedals.

Yeah. I definitely wouldn't understand it only because I couldn't read it.

and the font choice didn't help the ease of its legibility. Yup.

Yup.

[rickysaurus]

With more legibility:

[emberfly]

1. You spelled PRACTICAL incorrectly in the Legend.
2. It should be "Each small bar in the petals represents"
3. Also, the sentence makes no sense to me. "Each small bar in the petals represents one person from a survey of 150 people of the personality they identify best with and their favorite color." It's worded very awkwardly.
4. eg: should be e.g.:

That's all I found for now. I'll look over it again to see if I missed anything.

[lovescream]

I think the design of it is extremely creative and cute but what I had to say has already been said and plus I see you have like three new revised ones lol.

Yeah, the design of it is just.. so creative lmao. I really love it, overall hahaha~ besides the fonts and stuff but the most recent one seems pretty nice too. I prefer the old font but it is a little hard to read unless you try really hard, so yeah.

ooooo, outta curiousity, what font did you use for the first one? me likey me likeyyyyy

Ohh, I see.

And it's Gabi.

[ley]

Wow! Talk about creative I liked it better when your groups names were on the leaves. Other than that i really like it.

[rickysaurus]

Alright I corrected the type errors that emberfly pointed out. Thanks.
The font used is called ghosttown. You can find it on dafont.com
Hi Gabi!

Last one for the project.

[emberfly]

the "8" over the innocent girl's head looked like a bird to me at first.. because of the orange t-shirt behind it.

not a problem.. just sayin' :o

[none345678]

Oh my gosh I love it!

[manny-the-dino]

Woah this is so cool. I love it!

[rickysaurus]

Thanks guys :]

[Mikeplyts]

Oooo, niicce!! It looks awesome! :DD
