This info-graphic depicts what each state in the United States is the 'worst at'. For example, Maine is considered to be the dumbest state, North Dakota is said to have the ugliest residents, and Maryland has the highest AIDS rate. I picked this info-graphic because it is an easily comprehensible diagram that provides interesting and funny information. Because some states are smaller than others, its a bit harder to distinguish what the smaller states are 'worst' at. Subsequently, as a result of the varying sizes of the states in the diagram, some of the words are tilted or tend to run close to each other which can be distracting. The alternating colors and concise simple form of the words allows those viewing the info-graphic to quickly grasp the message being conveyed to them through the picture. The only other issue that could occur from the visual representation of this map is that if one did not have previous knowledge of the geographical location of all the different states they could struggle with identifying the corresponding information.

This info-graphic depicts how we should go about solving global warming. It is visually pleasing, utilizing a variety of colorful comical illustrations that lighten the mood of the underlying message. I picked this info-graphic because simple and seemingly elementary diagram makes solving global warming seem to be a simple task that does not require too much effort. This diagram does have a lot going on, so the only thing I would do differently would be to spread out the images so they don'y clump together too much.The visual representation of this data allows me to see how many different options we have to make a difference and to stop global warming in a very positive light.

This info-graphic allows the viewer to observe the past 100 years of motoring in America. I picked this one because it had such an interesting way of displaying the data it wanted to present. It is modeled after the boardgame "Candyland" in which you follow a path until you get to the end. It's a super creative way to relay the information, especially seeing as the history of motoring in America is not exactly the most interesting topic. There are many twists and turns along the path which keeps the viewer engaged, as well as a varying color pattern which pop, stimulating the eye. There could be a few more illustrations but other than that I think this info-graphic is pretty good.
