Data Graphics

Instructions, from places such as Ikea, who are selling items all over the world, in many different countries that speak many different languages, are taking shape in comic form. This is easily read from left to right, or from right to left, clearly showing what should not be done, and what should be done. The ideas are easily communicated by the big black x's, and the expressions on the androgynous people's faces. Everything is very simple, and doesn't even need words to convey their message.



I had to include this, simply because it made me laugh.

This is a good set of graphic instructions, because it uses clear pictures, and simple, easy-to-understand words : Yes and No. It also uses a brightly colored warning sign, an easily recognizable symbol, to further emphasize what you should not be doing.
