Map ideas

For this info graphic I will be converting a basic map of the world into a slanted bar graph with each individual continent representing the population of itself. After editing this image in Photoshop, to make it clearer and even simpler

'If the world was 100 people' Graphic ideas

The following is a basic description of how I could go about representing certain information as 'if the world was only 100 people' in a graphic image. I may not be using all of these ideas and may also improve on them as I create them, however these notes are more of a reference for myself so i can know exactly what i am going to do for this task.

Gender 
50 would be female
50 would be male

Two simple ways of representing gender ratio if the world was 100 people could be as follows. One would be to show the simple outlines of a male and female person and split them down the middle and join them to each other (maybe the left side being female and the right male.) This way it is absolutely clear that the value is 50/50.

Another way would be almost the exact same but instead of male and female outlines, I could use the male and female symbols respectively.


Geography
60 would be from Asia
15 would be from Africa
11 would be from Europe
9 would be from Latin America & the Caribbean
5 would be from North America

For this one I could possibly show a basic map of the world and highlight each of the continents in a different colour and putting a percentage in the middle of it. To further improve on this visual description, I could also make the map into a 3D image and rotate it to an angle and then put it onto a bar chart table. I could then extend it up to the appropriate value that each country represents.


Electricity
78 would have electricity
22 would not

Possibly could be represented by a light-bulb, having the main see through part of the bulb representing the 78% and the dark bottom part representing the 22%.


Drinking Water 
87 would have access to safe drinking water
13 would use unimproved water

Like with electricity, drinking water could be represented by a simple image of a water bottle. the bulk of the bottle (see through part) can represent those who have access to safe drinking water and the black lid representing those who do not.

Alternatively I could show a simple image of a measuring jug. Then i could have clear water filling up 87% for those with access to fresh water, and the other 13% being slightly darker (as-if it is unfiltered) for those who do not.

Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was born in New York City, into an upper-middle-class jewish family. His father, Milton, was a real estate broker, his mother, Beatrice (Werner), a homemaker. He was raised on the Upper West Side and attended public school until the age of twelve. He then enrolled at New York's Franklin School for Boys, remaining there for his secondary education. Lichtenstein first became interested in art and design as a hobby, and through school. He was an avid jazz fan, often attending concerts at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. He frequently drew portraits of the musicians playing their instruments^. In his last year of high school, 1939, Lichtenstein enrolled in summer classes at the Art Students League of New York, where he worked under the tutelage of Reginald Marsh.
