Inspired heavily by the work of Edward Tufte, I attempted to create an information design
based upon a three dimensional bar graph. My goal was to create an info graphic that was
as minimal as possible and conveyed the data as simply and effectively as possible. I did
all that I could to avoid adding what Tufte calls "chart junk."
I chose to research something that I am interested in, which is idea of using a bicycle
as a viable means of transportation. The logical solution for educating people to the
benefits of the bicycle was to compare the use of the bicyle and the effects that it could
have on the environment, as opposed to using an automobile as a primary means of transportation.
To give the information more depth,
I also chose to compare Indianapolis, Indiana to Portland, Oregon, two cities that have
drastically different perspectives on transportation and urban planning.
The result is an info graphic that conveys a large amount of information with a small amount
of visual explanation.
