Journal #10






GOOD is a media platform for people who want to live well and do good. They are also a magazine. GOOD is a company and community for the people and provides content and utilities that support the community. It is basically made up of news, info graphics, videos and live events. It was actually very interesting going through the GOOD website. I found a lot of weird but interesting things. For example, there were a good number of videos of info graphics. There was one about Teen Sex and showed different types of statistics throughout the video about it. The statistics popped up at different times and each one was a different style. It was exactly like a motion graphic video. As well, there was another info graphic that was very simple and just used the graphics to show the stats and what the info graphic was about. While browsing through their regular info graphics I noticed that most of them contained a lot of information but were designed very well. None of them looked too crowded at all either. Then I also stumbled upon the design section and found The Stupidest Dog Leash in the World. I found it pretty hilarious and it was a very unique design. The picture of the infographic that I have at the very top really intrigued me because it was a flash type of graphic where you go over an area and it highlights the side. I've never seen an info graphic that was interactive like that.
Overall, there are many unique thing son GOOD website and the info graphics were a big help for our current project for Tad's class.
