I love the silhouettes throughout this IG, evoking the imagery of the typical Bond intro credits. I also appreciate that text is kept to a minimum throughout and that although there are several different colors used, they are sectioned off so they don’t look overwhelming all together.

I’m confused about the data viz in the lead section. What are the percentages? Did Bond wear midnight blue fabric 47% of the time? Or did 47% of fans vote for midnight blue as their favorite? What’s the context? I do love the style of the pie charts, though — another classic Bond element.

Although the silhouettes are styled nicely, it’s a little odd that such detail is given about each and every thing Bond is wearing, yet we can’t actually see that detail. Omega ‘Seamaster’ Watch — not pictured. Converse Jack Purcell OTR? Just some olive-green shoe silhouettes. Ralph Lauren brown belt — not only not pictures, but probably wouldn’t be brown if it were. Just seems that silhouettes were used as an aesthetic without considering the value of detail to the piece. Since the concept of the infographic is all about the little details of Bond’s outfits, I think we need to see that.

I DO love the inclusion of the fashion faux-pas though!

In all I’d give this infographic a C. While a lot of effort was made to sneaky in Bond-esque elements, I think in some cases it overshadows the best interest of the infographic. I also need more explanation regarding what the data viz means. But conceptually, I love that there’s an infographic about this topic.

This infographic was submitted by Digitally Lux, who provided this description:

“They say fashion bloggers are the new celebrities, journalists and stylists. As the shift from traditional to digital media continues to evolve, we analyzed over 550 fashion blogs in over 31 countries using our exclusive PUB’lister software to create this infographic as a ‘Snapshot of the Global Fashion Blogosphere.’ It is amazing to see the social influence on a global level.”

The designer does a good job with data viz here. There are no unnecessary blocks of text on this infographic. The color palette is nice, suits the topic, and makes everything easy to read.

The graphs about the percentage of bloggers who use Facebook and Twitter are kind of confusing. I don’t really understand how the blocks of color are truly representing the percentages shown. For example, in the United Kingdom, the graph seems to be saying that 91% of bloggers use Twitter, and that 47% of those use both Facebook and Twitter. But I don’t think that’s what the data is supposed to show.

(Also, the data is supposed to be separated by continent, except the United Kingdom is a part of Europe. Granted, it’s not part of the main landmass of Europe, but it is a European country. Also, are there really no fashion blogs in the entire continent of Africa? And only 7 in South America?)

The dimensions are also strange on this infographic. Generally, we don’t like to see IGs any wider than 1,000 pixels. When they exceed this width, users have to scroll horizontally. This IG is 1240 pixels wide, and only just barely longer at 1260. Some definite reformatting would be necessary to help this infographic fit the measurements.

I would also like to see a little more on this topic to help tell the full story. Maybe we could get some sample blog titles or trends in each country? Overall I’d give this infographic a C. It’s using data viz, has nice bold colors, and is extremely focused, but it needs to broaden its focus a little, fix the dimensions and work on the geography.

This graphic is kind of like a scavenger hunt, or a patchwork quilt of singer celebrities. Look for one pointy cone bra… there it is! Dress made of muppet eyes… found it! It’s pretty fun to see if you can recall each outfit from just a clue and a style tag.

“Madonna and Lady Gaga: Two shameless pop stars willing to try anything, no matter
how abominable or shocking, to secure a seat at the top of the charts (and tabloids).”

Unfortunately, this isn’t really an infographic; it’s a map of fashion. The design is pretty basic, and the resolution isn’t very high. Any zooming in or out makes it almost unreadable. I wish we could have a little more info about the background of each style, too. The styles would need to be supplemented with statistics–the rankings of Paparazzi and Material Girl on the Billboard charts, or how much the music videos cost, or the number of people that tuned into VMA performances.

Overall, I give this infographic a D-, because the proportions are fine and the intent is good, but it’s all graphic and no data viz.

Here’s an infographic we did covering co-creation in the fashion industry. We can’t critique our own designs without bias, so let us know what you think!
