This infographic explores the fast lives of the rich and famous and what expensive cars they are driving.
Infographic Review
Infographic Design: C
This car infographic doesn’t do anything to give itself a flat tire, in fact it is a very safe design that looks professional. That is why we gave it an average grade. It doesn’t break any design rules and doesn’t go past any design boundaries either. Grey and red are good color choices but they aren’t used with any real excitement. The car images are decent, but not anything to catch your eye. Some recognizable celebrity photographs are matched besides their respective fast and expensive cars, but some illustrations would have been nice. A safe infographic that doesn’t go over the speed limit.
Infographic Information: C
The information on the fast and expensive cars and their owners follows the same pace as the design. You get enough to information to cover the basics such as the name of the car, the celebrity drivers, car prices and the time at which it can go from 0 – 60 mph. All standard statistics, but you don’t get one interesting fact with each car listed. Again, not much time needed to dig deeper, one lap around and you are ready for the finish flag.

Infographic Scorecard
Infographic Design: B-
Infographics usually take one of two paths when being designed. The first design strategy is to make the infographic uniform in its look and feel, similar colors, fonts and imagery. Or the infographic designer decides to try a collage design, mixing fonts, colors, styles, imagery in an effort to capture a moment with each bit of information the infographic is portraying. Usually this does not work and the infographic looks sloppy and mish-mashed. Well, this time it works, mostly. And I only say mostly because the not all the transitions are smooth as they could be. But the transition between design styles is given creative thought and the overlap between each era is subtle if no always effective (1908 to 1941 is left a little harsh). Still, a successful attempt at a design tactic that usually fails. Well done.
Infographic Information: C
The information and statistics on booking only travel and modes of transportation aren’t that interesting. And the information isn’t all that substantial. More time collecting facts was needed so this infographic would feel more complete and not like a visual collection of some semi-interesting facts about travel. The designer in me also didn’t care for the IBM computer. Where is the Mac love? ;-)

Infographic Scorecard
Infographic Design: A
The designer on this travel infographic for Expedia UK took their time and did an excellent job. The images and graphics all look custom and fit together nicely. This infographic was not put together piecemeal like many we reviews. Thoughtful consideration was involved, especially with the color palette. Teal and orange make a visually appealing partnership; along with bursts of yellow and plenty of visual “white” space this infographic is a pleasure to read and admire. Fonts are diverse, but not jumbled, and are used with care so they add to the design and make reading fun. An excellent design project.
Infographic Information: A+
You have to hand it to this travel infographic, it is certainly through in its evaluation of European airports according to European Flight information from Expedia UK. It covers many topics that would be of use to both experience and novice travelers in Europe. Topics such as passenger density, destinations, parking fees, distance from the closest metro area (city) and even amenities on the flights are covered such as getting a decent pillow and eye mask for more comfortable travel. Good advice with statistics and helpful information make this infographic truly a traveler’s friend.

This is a comparison of the travel habits of iPhone, Blackberry and Android users. Who would have thought there would have been a difference? Let’s see what they uncovered.
Smart Phone Users in the UK
There are 11 million mobile devices in the UK. That’s double the number of Brits that live abroad. About 10% of the British population live abroad. The most popular place they live is Australia.
We’re then given a portion of the infographic that says that 9% of visitors to travel websites access the website from their mobile device. Of those searching for flights online 69% of them are iPhone users. It’s not clear as to whether these numbers apply to worldwide users or just those in the UK.
Another interesting snippet – Chinese authorities have uncovered 22 fake Apple stores in just one Chinese city. The stores look just like the real thing, and the employees think they work for Apple.
Carbon Emissions
Global aviation accounts for only 2% of CO2 emissions. The mobile phone industry accounts for 1.4% of CO2 emissions. I don’t know what that has to do with a mobile phone user’s travel habits, but it’s nice to know.
The most popular travel app has over 10 million downloads.
7.5 million users in the UK own SatNav, but 3 million people in the UK have the free Google Navigation app on their Android phone.
What Does Your Destination Say About You?
iPhone users are two times more likely to visit a gambling destination like Las Vegas than Blackberry users. Blackberry users are 50% more likely to visit a top holiday spot and spend their money that way. iPhone users visit Athens more often than other users, while Android users are much more likely to visit New Zealand than iPhone or Blackberry users. Android and iPhone users are 50% more likely to visit Tokyo, and iPhone users are 4 times as likely as Android users and 10 times as likely as Blackberry users to visit Paris.
Another snippet: every year, 116,000 people in the UK accidentally put their mobile device in the washing machine.
Relationships on Holidays
iPhone users are most likely to go away for a “dirty weekend.” On the other hand, 11.4% of Blackberry users say they don’t look forward to going to a trip with their partner.
As for taking your partner with you on a business trip, 9.4% of iPhone users do it, 6.7% of Android users do, and 15.7% of Blackberry users do. Statistics are similar for who buys dinner for said partner and puts it on their expense report.
Work Habits on Holiday
Every year, workers spend 14 million hours searching for flights during working hours. Blackberry users spend 38% more time searching for flights than the average person. As for who works on holiday, takes calls from work on holiday and who works in bed, it’s iPhone users first, then Blackberry users, then Android users. Obviously, Android users know about work/life balance.
Snippet – Brits only use 10% of the features on their mobile devices.
Snippet – HTC CEO Martin Fichter said iPhones are for old people.
Scorecard
Design: B
The design was OK. Nothing was too terribly distracting, and everything fit together visually.
Information: C-
The information provided was a little scattered. It’s almost like they tried to fill in the blank spaces with random snippets of information, which did not improve the reader’s experience because the information did not flow very well.
