GM Foods Graphic
stuart July 3rd, 2008
This image is an attempt to try and create a hybrid of the graphical and the pictorial approach. We’d be interested to know if you think the images (the plate, beans, sauce bottle) are too diverting from the textual content, or do these help to let you know what the data is about and entice you to read closer?

It does make me want to read more, but at first I thought there was going to be something more to the objects on the plate ie that the size location etc might be going to give more information. For example that the size and prominence of the sauce was going to show that that labelling was more important compared to some of the rest. But nice.

Ah don’t really like this one that much.. too text heavy.. not simple enough in design for me.. map of the world never helps either.. as with the criss-cross table cloth.. also the vector work on the foods don’t work for me.. would have been better in my mind if they were photographed in a yellow heavy/gross 70’s advert for an “hearty breakfast” and then have the text to the side more.. and maybe briefer text, to give it the aesthetic of something interesting, it’s too flat atm.
Needs to be visually enticing for me to go further.. too much going on for me.
