I have heard people talk about Canadian real estate a lot this past year and most of it has been complaining. That is because I live on the west coast where housing prices are more expensive than any where else in this beautiful country. Even with all this talk I have never really seen any statistics on how much more expensive places like Vancouver are in comparison to the rest of Canada. So when we were told to make an infographic for school I figured that it would be the perfect opportunity to educate myself on the current state of Canadian real estate. The results were actually surprising. According to the stats I found I am living in a region that is more than double the average house price in Canada and more than double 14 out of 17 other major cities in Canada!
A collection of fun and interesting infographics our graphic design class has put together - from peak oil to Mythbusters to tea. Take a look and see what cool new trivia you can pick up!

Pizza
This infograph is based on one of North Americas all time favourite foods, pizza. These top 5 pizza companies dominate the pizza industry with pizza hut being the top. I chose this subject because pizza is my favourite food as it is for many others. What is your favourite kind of pizza?

Shopping Local
Having worked at a local farmer's market for several years, I was wondering how much people actually care about buying local foods. With the push more and more these days for supporting your local farmers rather than the big box stores, why is it that we care about buying local foods? I also wondered with the push to reduce plastic bags winding up in a landfill, how many people are actually making the effort to bring their own bags. So I conducted a survey at my work and researched some recent national polls to find out what Canadians think.

Graphic Design Salaries and Billing Practices
It can be hard to tell how much to charge for your Graphic Design work. Thats why
thedesignguy.ca created this infographic to take out the guess work when it comes to
billing time. Every two years the Association of Registered Graphic Designers of
Ontairio conducts a survey on salaries, project fees and billing practices in the
Canadian graphic design industry. The information used was from the 2007 survey and
can be found here --> 2007 Graphic Design Salary Survey
