Family Tree

You don’t really now how big your family is until you’ve made a family tree. The task was to take something personal to us and create an info graphic which was clear, simple and beautiful. Nothing is more personal than a family tree, we traced back hundreds of members to our family, individually looking at different countries to get accurate information.

Our family can be categorized around 4 main families which we colour coded so they could be distinguished easily from each other, we then calculated how many generations there are in each family and round them down to make six different notable generations. For these generations we changed the colour slightly each time and also made the lines thinner to highlight current age, from looking at the generation they were in and their age you could tell when they had died.

We tracked back over 500 family members, around 200 of those are on this current family tree, we are currently working on v2.0 to get everyone in, we went as far back as 1814 and have managed to go back further with the new data acquired.
