MondayMay022011The Real Cost of Dating
Monday, May 2, 2011 at 8:00AMThis is a pretty simple one, but I appreciate when companies are willing to experiment with infographics and even design their own. The Real Cost of Dating is from Match.com and based on a survey they performed in March of 2011. So here, the company is putting their own, proprietary data out on the web to inform readers and draw them into the match.com blog.
First, I like the talk bubble used as a pie chart. It really helps reinforce the data as “Men say…”, “Women say…”. Although I think the design is too subtle. It took me a minute to even see that there were too colors in the bubbles.
Persoanlly, I think this design is very text-heavy, and much of the text is redundant. For example, each statistic includes the text “…of women” when they are already in a section of the infographic of just statistics from women.
Overall, good first swing at using infographics in your marketing strategy, and I hope they do more.
Thanks to Colin for sending in the link!

The Real Cost of Dating
Wednesday, September 15, 2010
All nature has a feeling
All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.
John Clare*
