Infographics Step of the Day - Medical



Today’s example was developed for our friends at Bodypoint to show their Leg Harness wheelchair accessory in action in a way that demonstrated the proper fit around the patient’s leg. According to our client, past images made this device look like a groin strap, similar to the pelvic portion of a skydiving harness. By using ghosting techniques, Infographics was able to demonstrate how the Leg Harness holds each leg at the inner thigh, to provide resistance to pelvic rotation and obliquity, without limiting anterior movement or pressing on the bladder.

Infographics Step of the Day - Electrical Sequences


Wiring and electrical sequences can be some of the most challenging and complex to communicate – especially since there are so many variables involved. Today’s step is from an appliance installation guide developed for our friends at Viking Range Corporation. In this case several wiring options were shown and one key challenge was clearly identifying wire colors when working with a black and white format. The primary objective was to focus on safety and be as clear as possible to avoid confusion which could lead to costly and time consuming mistakes.

Infographics Step of the Day - United Chair


OK – be honest… how many of you have an office chair and you don’t know how all of those levers and adjustments work? Honestly? Today’s steps were developed for our friends at United Chair to help address that problem. In this case, we suggested that instead of showing the chair from the side – as is customary – we show it from above to better communicate the controls the way the user will access them. This approach communicated function and interface so well that it was incorporated into point-of-purchase hang-tags to help identify key features and functions.

Infographics Step of the Day - Lost in Translation


Hello folks! We’re back after a brief end-of-summer hiatus. Today some fun – it appears that the intent here was to avoid falls, but some things are easy to lose in translation. This serves as a reminder that it’s very important to validate your work and be sure to check translations for accuracy!
