Boston robbery infographic

This infographic is about the major art theft in history that took place in Boston, Massachusetts (USA). It talks about the description of the robbery, the location, the choosed place, the most important pieces of art robbed, the chronological sequence of events and other sixteen important art heists over time. It is an abstract infographic because despite the art pieces and the museum picture or the watch, the rest of the elements are figurative; they represent realities far away from the draws. It is quite functional because only one element is there to decorate, the brush. 

The rest of it has an informative purpose and if they were removed some important data could be missed. It is quite lightness generally exceptuating maybe the two chronological sequence of events the first one about the Boston museum robbery and the second one about the most important heists over history; these at first sight can be somewhat difficult to understand but after a few seconds the total content of the infographic can be understood without difficulty. 

Information is in general visually clear. It is more multidimensional because of the different treated aspects about the same topic: art thefts. The infographic is pretty original, the public is not very used to see this type of representations and the way in which chronological events are presented is not very common. Furthermore, it is quite novel because it speaks about the same topic along all its surface but the information is shown from different perspectives or sur-topics. To sum up, I personally believe that any audience can understand the information presented here because it is readily understandable, original and entertaining. In conclusion, I think it is very intelligible and shallower besides of entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
