Arthur Buxton, the same artist who created the visualization showing how Penguin book covers evolved over time, has another fantastic set of designs.
Colorstories are a very minimalist visualization of the use of color in picture book narrative.
There are three motives, for The Snowman, Where the Wild Things Are, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Each pie chart very accurately shows how colors are distributed within the book.
Using custom software, I’ve reduced each page in all three books to it’s main five colours proportionally according to size, then arranged each resulting chart in sequence.
You can buy Colorstories directly from Arthur Buxton’s website.
