'10 of the Most Iconic Swords in Fiction'

This infographic presents illustrations of some of the most iconic swords seen on screen, it was one of my favourite projects and for a time became a viral hit. Although not always for right reasons.

As can be expected; a lot of discussion was generated as a result of the infographic, mostly based around what was, wasn't, and should have been included. Common suggestions included Excalibur, and the lightsaber from Star Wars. I had my own reasons for not including these here, and I noticed that some people had understood this, but ultimately I was pleased that my piece had ignited conversations and got more people talking about popular culture.

I think that one of the reasons that this infographic did so well is due to the design of it. Whilst sketching some ideas for the layout at the time, I came up with the look of a tatami mat style design. These are the flooring mats that are traditionally found in Japanese homes, and somehow it seemed to fit the mood of the piece.
