Interactive fish infographic is a reel treat | Infographic
A lot of infographics float by us at Creative Bloq, but True Fish Tales really hooked us in. It plays on the idea that fishermen are famous for telling tall stories by bringing together some amazing 'true tales' of the monsters that lurk beneath the sea. What sets it apart is its smooth and user-friendly interactivity, which makes discovering the content a fun and entertaining experience. The infographic was put together by Brian Maier and Mark Shelton of Kentucky agency DBS>Interactive as part of an ongoing effort to add fresh content to United Marine website. "Our goal was to create a truly interactive infographic as a main focus for content," explains DBS>Interactive's John Lewis. Maier and Shelton used a combination of CSS3 and JavaScript to build the infographic. JavaScript is used to position the pins on the map. The infographic has been designed responsively, so it works well on mobile browsers as well as desktop computers. Have you seen a brilliant infographic?

These systems come in all shapes and sizes, and can cover area naming, signage design, cartography, defining route networks and installing new landmarks to give an area more character. At Applied Information Group we worked on everything from simple internal building systems for hospitals to complex city-wide, multi-modal schemes that encompassed every mode of transport that the city offered. While I won’t go through all of the principles in this article, there are a few I’ve found to be useful in my move from wayfinding design to interaction design. 1. 2. 3. When you're designing information for a transit authority, your potential audience is everyone.

Retailers rethinking store designs with mobile in mind | Merchandising Matters | Retail Localization | RBM Technologies
