Beat the Credit Crunch with Amazing Design

When we were in the midst of the credit crunch, did you hear words like “sub-prime”, “CDO” and “Hedge Fund”, but had little idea about how they were all connected and how this credit crunch derived? Well, I was a little confused myself, but recently I came across this great 2-part infographic by Good.is.

After watching various reports about the credit crunch on the news over 2 years, I had a fair idea about what was going on. However, after just reviewing this infographic for just a few minutes, I suddenly knew 10 times as much.
You can view the infographic on the Good.is site. Part 1 is here and part 2 is here.
I’ve been interested in infographics for years, and have always wanted to design one at some point. The good ones prove that amazing design can indeed teach facts far better than general information and articles.
