This post was inspired by one picture, and one picture only. I saw this picture about a week ago, and it inspired me to the point that I tweeted it and put it up on Facebook, but I still did not find that enough. I found myself frequently looking back at the picture and re-reading it, and at one point I even showed a couple friends. The picture I’m talking about is the first one in this post. It’s a typographic poster filled with facts that make you really open your eyes and see just how lucky you are. The picture made me speechless the first time I read it, and with the current conditions in Japan, I thought I’d be fitting to do this. And finally, the inevitable; a blog post featuring this picture. Granted the rest of the infographics aren not as good as the first one, I will probably do another post in the near future with more uplifting and design focused infographics; but for now, enjoy the more serious eye-opening ones below.
