With Information Illustration is all about the journey. Each step is an integral part of the bigger picture.
Information illustration is a small design agency based in Brighton UK specialising in Live Graphic Recording, illustration, Interactive Rich-Pictures and Visual Strategies.
The founder, Victor Hagger graduated in 2010 having studied Illustration at Cardiff Metropolitan. Although not intentionally, Victor was already drawing Rich-Pictures before having learned of them. His work has always been full of characters and interactions on a single page. At his final degree show this caught the eye of local design agency SeewhatyouMean who specialised in visual strategy. After joining the team that summer, he would learn about and become fascinated with the idea of using visual tools such as Rich-Pictures to manage problems and navigate towards outcomes. He learned that through narrative and metaphor it is possible tell an engaging story that puts the viewer in the picture and helps to create dialogue. his led him develop his knowledge skills in this field and create a company that is dedicated to exploring and developing the possibilities of Information based illustration.
Since 2010 Victor has been lucky enough to work many great companies and collaborators and is always exited to work on projects that help to drive change through visual communication.

These are some of the things they have had to say!
”The image went down really well, It was great that we could turn it into a game by printing it out and cutting holes for people to throw balls though to get points as we walked through the image. People seem to respond well to the journey in the image!”
Lauren Knight – Digital Partner at Anglian Water Services
”We received loads of compliments on the Strategy Map at the event itself, it was really engaging and was perfect for telling the story. It allowed people to pick images and ask questions which enabled us to elaborate on the findings (the sentiment as well as the facts because of the way you had captured it). Thank you very much once again for producing such a brilliant piece of work in such a short period of time.”
Melissa Tallack – Head of Data and Digital Services at Anglian Water Services
‘ I was a little worried due to time differences of different countries and having to rely on phone and email communication throughout the whole project. But once the project started rolling, Victor did a great job and sending drafts and explaining the reason for such and such illustration for the script and so on. I was amazed at the level of reinterpreting words in visuals. Great communication capability. Deep understanding of the contents and re-interpretation skills of visualization. Willingness to be detailed and meticulous with the end output. Punctual on deadline schedule. Made a somewhat hard to understand philosophical contents easy to understand with illustration and animation skills. Our team were able to utilise the end product in internal education seminars. And also use it to explain our design strategy to partners in a short time.”

” I felt free to direct Victor and felt comfortable guiding his expertise whilst being very satisfied with the results produced. I feel that the artwork Victor created for our media campaign, our event promotion and our logo in total added much to the launch of our community project. What was a difficult event and activity to promote became much easier through the use of visual depiction. Although following the brief, Victor used his creative license, his style and flare to surpass my expectations of what was materially achievable. Being a perfectionist, I couldn’t have been more happy to work with someone that was able to resonate on my wavelength and literally envisage what I was unable to pen myself. I think Victor’s creative capacity enables him to provide a truly professional product, bringing ideas to life and illustrating what the mind can only imagine. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an illustrator. Friendly, hard working, great ethos and able to deliver beyond expectations. ”
