Information Graphic Beginnings

Here are some of the preliminary diagrams for my informational graphics:

This is a comparative graphic showing the different amounts of fruits/veggies that American citizens in the years 1996 and 2007. But, it's very poorly laid out and confusing for something that should be a simple fact.

This is a timeline of food related trends in the past decade. I like the facts, they're varies and interesting, and there's a lot of information for each. Sadly, the organization of the whole thing is not working. Since it's a timeline, it really needs to show the order of the daters somehow. Also, the icon isn't really doing anything in the image. I'm going to work on the time-based structure and giving the icon purpose.

My time-based graphic is this clock! It is showing good and bad choices that you can make throughout the day, meal-wise. I need to add a ket to this, and separate the times and the facts by changing the hierarchy of them. I'll add a key. I'll also be rendering the clock in different ways, and abstracting it, since it really doesn't need to be as literal as it is now.

The kitchen map exploration is my personal favorite, and shows you kitchen safety tips. I need to do some more research on this, so that I can try to incorporate some more icons in to the graph. I'll be looking in to different ways of depicting the kitchen too. Maybe a few drawings, photos, photo montage. I'm worried that if I just try to kind an image, or take an image, the kitchen will not have all of the elements needed to connect the facts too. I'll be thinkiiiiing.
Time for lots of iterations!
