Infographic

This project required me to take a set of data and represent it visually as an infographic. The data was a set of statistics related to coffee consumption in the Midwest and the rest of the country.

The list of ways Midwesterners drink coffee, combined with the percentages given, lent itself most readily to a table format because it had two correlating sets of information that needed to be represented side by side.

I turned the percentage of coffee drinkers by region into a visual map rather than just a list of numbers because that will help readers understand what areas of the country the numbers apply to.

I took the list of the most coffee-reliant professions and turned it into a bullet-point list for a cleaner visual presentation that is less cluttered and easier to read. (The original list was just one long sentence, with each item separated by commas.)

  1. This is a very good visual of information. Everything is easy to find, read and to understand, especially since it has figures and lists. The colors are a nice touch and they add more interest to the piece.
