Isotype

The simplistic art style of the isotype reminded me of the popular video game portal. The graphics are very minimalistic, clean, and depict things in a very simple matter.

I also found a chart made using isotype that shows the statistics of deaths in Iraq in the year of 2007. Isotype can be used for a large variety of things.

I did a Google search for Gerd Arntz and found some more of his artwork aside from his isotype images.
