Client work: Visualizing Density, Having Fun with Mass and Volume

Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by Jess.

Now this one was really fun to do for Rasmussen College.  Density is a concept that can be hard to conceptualize.  You can have to bricks of something the same size, yet one is 10 lbs and the other 1,000 lbs.  So I created a standard format to help visualize the density of all kinds [...]

Posted on 19. Nov, 2009 by Jess.

Ok, that’s not the title of the infographic, but it’s appropriate.  Reverse Mortgages are a financial product available to seniors and they are set to explode as the baby boomers head off into retirement and are finding out that they don’t have enough cash to pay for their expenses.
Reverse Mortgages used to have a bad [...]

Client Work: Nurses: By the Numbers

Posted on 05. Nov, 2009 by Jess.

Here is one I did for NursingSchool.org.  I am hesitant to call it an infographic, even though it does have a few… pill charts.  Let’s just call it a “graphic post”, which I like better.  It also has feces on it, making it extra graphic.

This one was fun to do.  If you want to support [...]

Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by Jess.

Another flowcap of the process of creating an infographic.  This time its much shorter, about 1 minute.  It turns out that watching the creation non-linear infographics is not as exciting in fast motion as more of the all-in-one infographics.  The previous flowcap video is here.

As you can see this project was more research [...]

Posted on 26. Nov, 2008 by Jess.

Here is some client work I did for SloshSpot.  Essentially it’s one point of data, the amount of beer consumed in the US annually, only it is envisioned in several different ways.  Very large numbers are difficult to conceptualize and very large volumes, areas ,and other measurements are even further out of the minds grasp.  [...]
