If you’re confused what type of shed would suit your needs, here’s an infographic presented by DIY-Plans. It shows the different types of shed plans and their qualities.
1. The Gable Shed – Classic, economical, and easy to build. It allows more ventilation and space—for attic or vaulted ceilings.
2. Lean To Shed – Perfect for storing firewood or BBQ grills. You can attach it to a structure to save labor and material cost. Or you can construct it without any structure to lean. That depends on you.
3. Garden Shed – Design for storing garden equipment or plants. If not, you can transform it into something useful like a lounge. Why not?
4. Barn Shed – Perfect for storing farm tools. Its roof design allows you to add either a loft or an attic. Most barn sheds are usually large.
5. Saltbox Shed – Its asymmetrical design allows water to run off easily. It’s known for its durability.
6. Modern Shed – It can be a home office, lounge, spare bedroom, entertainment pub, or just a storage area. Stylish and sometimes very relaxing.

This infographic identifies some different shed varieties and provides some adjectives that define each one. The typography and color do important work to develop cohesion through the infographic, but the contrast between the illustration style and background detail create some misleading tonal contrast. The descriptions of the sheds are useful; however, it's not specified whether the phrases are based in fact or opinion. Focusing the layout around a central image is an interesting move. Right now, it's not clear how the shed types connect to the image's purpose, which perhaps limits the design's value in conveying information. There's a foundation here for some interesting material, but the purpose and detail here need some more attention. Overall, we'd give this an F.
