Inside an iPhone
What I love about this graphic is the fact that it makes a very familiar illustration - the one showing what's inside an iPhone - very original by making fun of it and adding small working men inside it. At first sight it seems to be just another technical instruction, but then you discover the funny elements.
Very unlike real technical instructions, this graphic has decoration elements - and because its intend isn't to show how the phone works, it's more light and simple, not being either redundant or multidimensional.
The funny part of it is that it's very figurative - it shows a phone, the little men walking around inside it and the gear inside it - but of course the audience know that these figures are a comment on the hype about iPhones and their features. Which actually makes it kind of abstract...

Hi Rikke, I agree with you on the fact that it is a figurative graphic that at the same time is a little bit abstract due to the fact of the imaginary items such as the little men working inside the iphone.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this little contradiction is the feature that transforms an infographic that could be so boring concerning how an iphone works into a more interesting one full of colors and imagination.
I agree with your description very much,
good job!
Thank you, Begona! The little men in this graphic are in fact the funny part of this graphic - but I also think that the colors add to the humor of this graphic. An ordinary technical graphic wouldn't use these fresh, cool colors.
