INFOGRAPHIC DESIGN FOR MINOR
DATA VISUALIZATION - "GOOD WORK IN GERMANY" EDUCATION & RESEARCH
EU citizens from Poland, Romania and Bulgaria represent the major immigration group from other EU member states into Germany, based on the principle of freedom of movement. Their main motivation is to find good work in Germany.
Analyses have shown that new immigrants predominantly use the internet for first information and communication. In order to inform them more effectively and to provide them with an easier way to understand complex labour law-related topics, Minor hired me to design six infographics in four languages each (German, Polish, Bulgarian and Romanian). The legal text translations were provided by the client Minor - Projektkontor für Bildung und Forschung gemeinnützige GmbH (Berlin, Germany). This data visualization project was funded by the Office for the equal treatment of EU Workers and the German Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration.

The, for me, non-familiar letter types in the different languages were a micro-typographic challenge. This is why I chose to use the font "Lato" for the main copy for this data visualization project. "Lato" supports all required languages, is Polish and means "summer". This font was developed by the Polish font designer Łukasz Dziedzic, based in Warsaw.
The outcome is a great infographic series, comprised of 24 infographics (6 graphics x 4 languages). They are eye-catching, allow for fast orientation, come in a Facebook-friendly dimension and are perfectly suited for a successful social media campaign.
"Competent, friendly, reliable - simply great! It was a very pleasant and professional collaboration. We hired different companies in the course of our project, and HCG corporate designs was far and away the very best! We can fully recommend HCG corporate designs and Ms. Gamper at any time."
