With the addition of sound and biased statistics, we could make our audience feel a certain way on the topic. When an idea is presented through text alone, we leave the audience to develop their own opinion on the subject regardless of how biased the writing might be. With these additions to the information on the company, the sound and specific numbers generate a sense of fear in the audience. This is also without any preconceived knowledge on the company, we are left feeling this way. I don’t think the producer of the video would have been as successful with providing a dramatic story if this was presented strictly in text.

This is Ryan Giggs, one of the greatest soccer players that has ever lived, and perhaps the greatest that has ever played in the English Premier League. His greatness is clearly shown though his accolades that are displayed as banners on top of the poster. 909 club appearances – most by a Manchester United player. 163 club goals. 64 national team appearances and 12 goals. Numerous amount of titles and cups, including 12 English Premier League titles – most by any player. His greatness is also forever recognized by his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, with words, “whether dribbling or sprinting, Ryan can leave the best defenders with twisted blood.” The quote is located under the image of Giggs himself, his number “11” and his signature. The whole poster conveys the feeling of greatness that Ryan emulates.

Although a map of Ocean Currents is extremely simple and straightforward, it has major impacts and influences throughout history as well as our international economy today.
In the past merchants and explorers were keen on ocean currents and trade winds in order to travel safe and efficiently. Understanding and utilizing ocean currents have allowed us to map almost every corner of the earth. Today ninety-percent of international trade is conducted through sea. Ignoring the logistical advantage of ocean currents would decrease global trade revenue across the board.

9 Biggest Banks’ Derivative Exposure – $228.72 Trillion
These days we hear about billions spent here and trillions in debt there. But few people can actually visualize the magnitude of these figures and how do they fit in the big picture. I found that infographics, when done right, can present complex and boring info in simple and interesting way.
With this particular infographic you don’t need to have finance diploma in order to understand how extremely serious the world derivative situation has become.

The corruption and immorality of the banks pushes the world economy ever closer to the financial cliff.
