At first, I had no idea what to do for the Typographic Infographic. I wanted to do something simple. I went from just wanted to do lines and curvy lines with the information, then I tried to work around whether books would work on a bookshelf, so then i combined both of the idea and made it into a type of clothes line that had books on it. Each book being a different typeface, with the name of the typeface, the designer and the year on the book. Then the idea was to have a hanging sheet of paper with a little more information on each typeface. I used soft colours on the books so it wouldnt be heaps dominant. I didn't do much of a 'key' for the infographic. I did however with the colours, if it was in the same year, I would continue with that specific colour until the year changes, but after I used a certain amount of colours I just lapped them again and used the same colours.
I got some suggestions that I should put buildings on either side to put emphasis on the 'clothes line'. I tried to find an image, but no image was large enough for my document and it took the attention away from the information and was too crowded. I then ended up just drawing in my own buildings and for the two main typographers I am doing 2 bigger books on either side of the buildings with more information on a larger 'piece of paper' coming from the book.
