Ask HN: Where can I find someone who makes info-graphics?
Hey, I am interested in collecting data then having it displayed neatly in an info-graphic. Has anyone hired a designer to do this? If you have a recommendation feel free to pass it along with an example of their work. Thanks!
- frossie 16y agoI haven't done this, but I know if I did I would ask this guy: http://informationisbeautiful.net/ http://informationisbeautiful.net/ No idea whether he does small contract work or whether it is affordably priced, but I like his work.
- jmarbach 16y agoThanks! It appears that this blog even links to many other helpful information designers.

- nkurz 16y agoMy girlfriend does freelance 3D maps, illustrations, and graphics for a number of technical journals and magazines. She targets the glossy higher end, but sometimes does research papers. http://cooperhawk.com/ http://cooperhawk.com/ I obviously have a vested interested, but at the least she'd be able to answer your questions on pricing and process. Her contact information is at the bottom of the linked page.
- akamaka 16y agoThat is absolutely stunning work! I looked through the entire portfolio just for enjoyment. If you don't mind my idle curiousity, how much does it cost to produce a map of such high quality?
- nkurz 16y agoShe generally tries to price in line with the suggestions from the Graphics Artists Guild: http://www.graphicartistsguild.org/handbook/ http://www.graphicartistsguild.org/handbook/ You can buy the book on Amazon, or glance at an out of date summary of some of the numbers here: http://news.deviantart.com/article/120160/ http://news.deviantart.com/article/120160/ But as a very rough ballpark, ignoring size of printing, resolution of detail, research required, assignment of rights, and whether the illustrations selected for the website are representative, my over-the-shoulder impression is that a 3D map of the quality you see in a good travel magazine tends to cost about $1000-$2500.

- thesnark 16y agoBen Fry (of processing fame) has a group that does this: http://fathom.info/ http://fathom.info/ Can you give more details about the project and the data set?

- elbrodeur 16y agoThis guy (http://infographics.byjess.net/ http://infographics.byjess.net/) has made a ton of successful social media graphics. Discovered him while researching ideas for an infographic I did recently (http://1bog.org/solar-beats-the-bank/ http://1bog.org/solar-beats-the-bank/). Apparently he does contract work.
