This poster conveys the results of a study of the influence of political party on income inequality in the United States from 1967 to 2010.  Its sections include a research question, literature review, hypothesis, discussion of variables, model specifications, data analysis, and conclusion.  The poster includes a table that shows the significance of each variable to and the effectiveness of each statistical model.   Two graphs actualize the results of the strongest out of five statistical models tested for different categorical variables.  Other graphs show the distribution of the data and the plotted residual errors for the final model. This poster is highly technical and would be effective as a paper, but would probably be overwhelming for also overwhelm any lay-person trying to follow.

This infographic conveys the results from a similar study, which measured income inequality within the United States from 1917 to 2008.  Its title is rather straight-forward, asking who gains when income grows.  Rather than saddle the viewer with details of pertinent literature or model specifications, the infographic draws one's attention to the main line graph, which measures distributions of income over time, and another complementary pie chart, that describes wealth.  Three key descriptive statistics on income inequality supplement these two graphs.  The infographic describes a similar phenomenon as studied in the poster, but in a more visually appealing, accessible way. It uses multiple graphics to convey pertinent information.
