The Alphabet

0 comment

The Alphabet nothing special right? well I had to make it special. Since I became a father I wanted my son to learn the Alphabet in a easy and fun way. So I designed him his own personal Alphabet with numbers, symbols, letters and words in both Dutch and English. In this way the standard Alphabet had become a lot more diverse and interesting to play with. I also made a special personalized box for the blocks to put theme in. The graphics are engraved in the wood by a special laser.

Radiation Reviewed

0 comment

Some months ago I posted the infographic about radiation. Now a few months later I got the assignment to review my infographic and to change it for the better. I have learned a lot these past months about infographics. The previous version was way to crowded and had too much information spread over the whole paper. Also the information was not centered well enough in the picture making it not one whole piece. I knew I can do a lot better and I came up with this renewed version which I think is a lot better. Please have a look yourself.

How strong is radiation and when will it kill you? For school I decided to make this infographic about the dosage of radiation and the effects of it. I did the photography myself and found the information by surfing the net about radiation.

Another infographic is made this week. This time the assignment was to make a small infographic all out of photo material and connected to the students on my school. At my school there is one snack that is considered most popular. It is called the Unox bread, a sandwich with a sausage on it. People always eat it with some sauce on it. We decided to find out which sauce is most popular. After some investigations we made the pictures with the snack and sauces. The result is pretty funny to see.
