figures, deficit figures, population trends, increasing traffic trends, falling currency rates. How do we cope with them? Too many of us are scared by figures. We do not understand them. We would rather not look at them. We would like someone to explain them to us. Except to the trained few, figures are so anonymous, so flat, so obscure, and yet at the same time so threatening, as though they hide some secret that, if only we could see it, would reveal the horrible or wonderful truth of their subject.
Process: The premise of this project was to communicate a predominant issue in the world along with it's information and data in the form of an infographic or chart that is easy for any viewer to understand. The issue that is shown in this infographic is Global Money Laundering and the impacts that it has on the global GDP. To display the information about this subject in the best way possible, an image of all of the continents in the world was implemented along with the countries with the highest contribution to this issue colored in red. An illustration and summary of each specific type of contribution to global money laundering is displayed next to each highlighted country to further explain each major contributor to the issue.
