Women’s Jeans Sizing Infographic
Fall 2021
BRIEF
For this assignment we were instructed to create a visual taxonomy. We experimented in order to find clever and intuitive ways of communicating complicated data sets at a glance.
IDEA
Women’s jeans have never been easy to shop for. Sizes vary wildly between stores due to a lack of standardization. Stores are able to choose any measurements for their sizes, as well as any labeling system. In response to this situation, I created an infographic that attempts to clarify the sizing systems of popular women’s jeans stores.

Final Results
The infographic title and topic introduction.
A small chart walking the user through the process of measuring themselves and finding jean matches on the graph.
A section that tells users how to take their own measurements.
With two simple measurements, the user can identify stores that carry their specific size and know what each store labels their size as.
Plus-size jeans are typically found in different sections of a store's site or retail space and run on a different numbering system. This chart marks jean sizes found under a designated plus-size section in order to help users locate their jeans more easily.
This infographic was made to be color-blind friendly. If symbols on the chart have any color similarities, they will still be differentiated by their shape and/or saturation.
