This infographic was submitted to us by the folks at Brilliance.com, who took a look at the extravagance that was Kim Kardashian’s wedding.

This infographic is a charming baby pink with staggeringly enormous cost implications. A $2 million ring?! Yikes, Kim. $20 million works out to 714 years of work for the average Joe, and she flushed it down in a matter of hours. At least she stayed reasonable with the $13 cloth napkin on the registry. Frivolity aside, this infographic does a pretty good job of packing all the source information into data viz, staying on topic, and putting things into perspective. I really like the comparison of other things $20 million could buy. It’s nice to know that her public release of the information paid for her wedding almost entirely.

The information here is really well organized and nicely laid out. If I could ask for more data viz, I’d like to see visualization of all the things that could be bought for $20 million. I’d love to see 284 new model Lexus sedans (or, more likely, 28.4, with each one representing 10 cars).

I’m also a little confused about the fondant box: “More than 16 tons of fondant is consumed each year in the US. 16 tons.” Maybe a visual was meant to go there, and it was overlooked? Just something to note.

Overall I’d give this infographic a B+. It’s pretty darn informative, tells a complete story and has no unnecessary text–there just seem to be a few errors or missed opportunities holding it back. A couple more instances of data viz would really make this shine! (Get it? Brilliance.com?)

This infographic comes to us from IAmStaggered.com and shows all you ever needed to know (but didn’t know you wanted to) about best men. Because this is a UK focused infographic, the bachelor party is considered a “stag night.” The website, I Am Staggered, gives grooms and best men tips and tricks for planning the perfect stag night, while also providing news worthy updates about the latest engagements and famous stag parties. Upon submitting this infographic, designer Mark Hooson had the following to say:

‘A Statistical Picture of the Modern Best Man’ – a graphic I designed for www.iamstaggered.com, and the second in the ‘A Statistical Picture of” series.

As the Best Man is largely responsible for arranging the stag/bachelor party, a lot of the stats are to do with that.

All things said and done, the infographic does a good job of promoting the IAmStaggered brand while keeping the topic close to the website. It would have been better to spread out the data more, which could have been accomplished simply by making the infographic longer. As it currently stands, the bottom has way too much data to take in at once. The other problem is that the text throughout the entire infographic is in all caps, which makes it very hard on the eyes. The top half of the infographic works, it’s the bottom part that needs some cleaning up.
