The History of Number Plates Video Infographic

Posted March 9th, 2012 in Blog by James Cuff

After a few days settling into my new job as Multimedia Producer for the Marketing Department at Confused.com I thought I’d give a video infographic a whirl to accompany a newsletter article on new plates.

I’ve produced video infographics before as part of a tender for a PR company and as part of the short documentary I made for CCCS, the UK debt charity.

It takes a while to storyboard and create the artwork but it’s definitely worth the hard work when you take it into After Effects.

As video infographics are a new thing for Confused.com readers, I wanted to keep it very short and tight.

Here it is. Let me know your thoughts.
