Week 3 Submission
Original fact is: Estimated number of parking spaces per car in the United States: 3 (Harper's Index, Harper's Magazine Vol 324 Issue 1942 (2012) p11)
Rationale:
The type used in this graphic was selected to look like traffic lines found on a road. The font was found on theleagueofmoveabletype.com (www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/ostrich-sans)
The main art in this graphic is 5 lines arranged to look like 3 empty parking spaces, literally representing the fact chosen to show the 3 parking spaces available for each car in the U.S.A.
"3" and "EVERY CAR" are highlighted in a different colour and in a larger font to bring emphasis to the main points of the fact. Yellow was chosen to represent a "safety yellow" found on road text such as those used to show warnings and directions.
Black background was used to represent the black asphalt of roads, with a central gradient used to bring emphasis to the middle artwork.
