I'm Dave Ashby, a designer who is passionate about great graphic design and usable online applications, flash games, website design and freelance work based in Bristol, UK. I have over 10 years experence in various areas of design including web design, illustration, graphic design, print, app design, animation and flash games.
One my favourite things to make is inforgraphics and this project was right up my alley. Healthspan, a health supplement and vitamin information website, asked me to take a load of stats put together involved in the difficulties in swimming the channel. Healthspan already had an idea based on my previous work of what they wanted. The most challenging part of the project was to organise the information in a visually exciting way while still making the information readable.
The finished result was an online inforgraphic, but was also made into a large format poster for Healthspan's offices.
