Washing socks

What happens when you put your socks in the washing machine...
This info graphic is from the Danish site heltnormalt.dk by the designer "Truth Facts".

Why I love it? As all of Truth Fact's graphics, it uses few instruments to explain the message (the joke) - and it makes it extremely clear. When analyzing it with Alberto Cairo's tension wheel, I find that the graphic is very figurative - the socks are simply socks.

At the same time it's very light - there is not an overload of informations. All the elements are informative, and there are no extra decoration. You could have drawn a man taking out his socks from the washing machine, but the audience get the joke without extra decoration like that.

By making such an unidimensional and novel graphic, it makes the joke even clearer. It's original that the designer hasn't drawn a washing machine - but just the important; the input and output of socks.
