Comic Format used as Informational Tool

In the 2007 graphic novel Crecy (written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Raulo Caceres), an English longbowman named William of Stonham narrates to the reader the Battle of Crecy as he prepares and fights it. He tells the reader historical details and facts surrounding the battle, as if the reader were there with him. William explains political and military history surrounding the Hundred Years' War as the reader follows him from his marches across French lands to the final showdown at Crecy. He assumes that the reader has little knowledge of the time period and explains the situation so anyone can read the graphic novel. It is an excellent history lesson wrapped up in an entertaining comic book format. This is an excerpt as William checks his arrows the day before the battle, explaining their different purposes.

Good Informational Graphics - CZ75 Cut-Away

This cut-away diagram of a CZ75 handgun is an excellent example of good informational graphics. The purpose of the diagram is simply to explore and show the internal mechanisms of the machine. It uses a simplified picture with bold colors to differentiate between different parts, while cutting away parts without making the item unrecognizable. Parts are clearly labeled, and there is not so many lines that the diagram becomes cluttered. The viewer can easily isolate lines and parts.
