Infographic on What Colors Mean in Different Cultures



Graphic designer David McCandless made an infographic that describes connotations associated with different colors in different cultures. It serves as the cover illustration for Information is Beautiful, a book of infographics that McCandless and other designers have composed. Pictured above is one small part of the much larger whole.

This is a perfect teaser. The part of the legend that is shown does not apply to the part of the chart that is shown. One has to view the original to garner any information.

What a clumsy convoluted, and useless way to present the information.

Give me a table, or similar, that can be clicked and sorted and navigated etc.

THAT would be beautifully presented information.
This is not.

This 'infographic' is just a perfect example of why most infographics are crap.

They missed out on a pile of common connotations, and I agree - the format is *terrible*. Typical case of someone thinking they're clever when they're not.
