Roadtrip 2009 – Moving Home and Visiting North-Western Europe [oostring.com] is an infographic poster specifically designed to summarize and explain Ole Ostring’s summer holiday of 2009, including a roadtrip/ moving house expedition undertaken from Norway to England and back. It originally started as a tool for keeping track of costs, but was developed into a full trip overview as more details were added.

Key data such as cost, distance and time are presented in various ways to create a rich data log, including the typical bar graphs, event timeline and a collection of factual, iconographic details. The poster also contains a compelling abstract spiral that is able to incorporate a lot of time-based details while avoiding much visual cluttering.
