Digital animation- Infographics

Okay, so first things first, watch the video (below). I think it is a very well crafted Infographic. Being both visual engaging and informative. I found it to clearly explain the general aspects of Data Visualization (Infographics). Covering the importance of Infographics and why they are so important in today's present society and can have a lasting impact on the viewer. 



Watched it, good, Okay so you now have a general view of what Infographics are, if you did not so before. This was my task. For the second part of my Digital animation module I was task with creating an Infographic.


For this project brief we were shown a range of different Infographics and had the choice of picking one from which we would then base are animation on. Topics ranged from water to capitalism to traffic. However I was not really inspired by any of the ones on offer so. Fortunately we were also given the choice of finding an existing Infographic  from which we could base are animation on. This was good for me, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do... FOOTBALL! (not American football).

These are some of the best Football Infographics I Found:




I decided to change my idea  from football to technology the decision to change was due to me finding a lot of tech base infographics in particular the one below which I like. This was the Infographic I choose to use as Inspiration.

In Order of Importance to my project.
