credit crisis visualized

One of the things we all remember is the recent credit crisis (end of 2008) and here we have Jonathan Jarvis beautifully visualizing the whole concept in a clear, understandable manner.

It is a set of simple clear animated infographic woven together to create a story that tells the truth of the credit crisis.

What started as a quest to understand for himself – the who, what, when, where, how and why of the credit crisis has resulted in this:

argues that designers have the ability to see a complex situation, then turn around and communicate it to others. By
giving graphic form to the credit crisis, it becomes comprehensible. Not only do economic activities take shape, but

My interest in the project stems from 3 primary sources: my simple desire to understand it, diagramming work I
conducted at UNICEF, and my earlier motion design work.

It shows how visual thinkers and designers have the ability to see a complex situation, then discover the core messages and patterns and then communicate it to others. By giving graphic form to the credit crisis, it becomes comprehensible in this video.
