Information Design: Turning Location Based Ideas into Infographics

Just reposting this here, in case anyone wants to see it with the feedback :)
-----

This looks really great. Only a couple of things that I think would be good ideas going forward:

- move the whole composition up so that the text sits in the middle of the page. That way, you don't have that open space in between the title and the data. Unless you were planning on putting something special in that space!

- maybe add a bit of color to the callout boxes? right now I really like that green that you've used, but adding another, contrasting pop to maybe the icons or the deaths/$$$ text might make it really cool looking.

- also, it was something we totally glossed over in the videos but you'll want to make sure to write a small intro sentence or paragraph beneath or near the title &amp; subtitle so that your audience understands what you graphic is attempting to communicate.

Thanks for sending this over, really looking forward to seeing your next steps!
