This is fantastic - my favourite part "The Netherlands is nice right? No? Get out of my flow chart!" Need this printed on a massive poster. Also the path to Comic Sans is fantastic. Trajan belongs on here too.


I guess the path to Trajan would be too simple.

Start -> I'm making a movie poster -> Trajan.


Maybe I'm easily distracted, but I found it a bit difficult to follow the (otherwise beautiful and smart) infographic - everything is so entangled and close together.

Also, a small typo: "Something modern, yet planispoken" (halfway down the right side, under Newspaper).


Haha I think planispoken is actually Dutch for plain spoken, and the guy who made it is from the netherlands so that may have something to do with it...


No, it's not a Dutch word so it's probably a typo for plain spoken.


I stand corrected :P


You're probably sitting.


No I stood up when I typed that.


he's from Denmark and it could be Dutch if "plani" was an adjective that made sense in relation to ghosts. ;)


There are several typos, including word omissions. I'm not kidding :)


Awesome. A coworker was walking by just now and he couldn't believe so much thought could go into typography. Or that there's an entire movie about Helvetica.
