Airplane crashes infographic

Airplane crashes infographic
This one is about airplane crashes and fatalities from 2000 to 2009.There are shown total fatalities, airplane crashes with more fatalities and airplane crashes in Spain using different types of charts. It avoids complexity and tries to seek clarification of information. It is very abstract because draws and shapes are away enough from the reality they represent. In this case the numbers of victims are the most important and that is the reason because of it was decided to use more visual graphics with data representation. It is quite functional, there are few elements to decorata like the plane silhouettes, everything else has an informational purpose and is disposed in a concrete and thought-out place.
All that is expressed in the infographic has importance as a carrier of information. Maps are also very clarifiers in order to make public know where are the cities in which the accidents took place. The table with people aboard is also very comprehensible. I think the infographic is very lightness, all information is distributed in a correct way seeking to be understood by most of people. Space between different draws, charts and shapes is enough. It is quite unidimensional because it is centered on fatalities, data is represented in diverse ways and countries but it always focuses the attention on dead people.Without any doubt, this infographic is familiar. The graphics are common, recurring and easy to understand and identify. Furthermore, it is pretty novel because although it speaks about fatalities, different perspectives are used: data is represented by country, city, percentages and in addition by absolute numbers. In brief we could say that a wide audience has access to this information because it is easy to understand even remember because of the way it is presented, distributed and explained.

  1. Hi, Judit! Your information graphic shows the information in a simple way, so it makes it easily understandable and I think this is so important. You could add some graphic more original, as we are used to see bar charts, pie charts and maps. But congratulations, because I like it so much!

  2. Hello Ariadna! Thank you for your comment. I agree with you in your reasons and I think it could be improved with the addition of some charts less common to the audience in order to make it more attractive.
