Simple animation speaks volumes

In 2005 DIY Network sponsored a "Best Built House" contest and needed a resource to help them clearly communicate some of the technical details of the winning floor plan on their website. They not only needed great looking illustrations to adorn their website but, images that clearly and accurately conveyed the details of these innovative solutions to an eager-to-learn audience.

DIY realized that the team at Infographics® was particularly suited to this project because of the custom “visual languages” they produce for their product manufacturing client base that communicate information universally and effectively through a balance of technically accurate illustrations, universal symbols and copy for consumers.

The end result was a 10-second animated sequence of the house progression that included a nice rendering of the house and animations of the construction of the special features: pre-cast basement, insulation under basement floor, 3 stud corner, high-heeled roof trusses, air sealing, house wrap, total fill insulation, ice & water guard, PEX tubing for plumbing, tankless water heater, and ERV - air circulation system.
