K-Pop infographic

Rationale: K-Pop is beginning to become a major player in the world of music with it extending far beyond the reaches of South Korea, to areas as far away as France, and Brazil. I wanted to show just how far and how widespread K-Pop is becoming through this inforgraphic.

Aims: To show the expansion of K-Pop worldwide, and its reach into different countries

Process: I had originally written down a list of countries that various performers had held concerts in, then double checked with several news sites and attempting to read the performers websites (I unfortunately cannot read enough Korean, but I am able to read the sites, and I used google to double check translations and went to other sites to confirm that a group had, in fact, been to where they said.

I then got a vector map of the World, converted it to black and white, and then started selecting the countries that groups had held concerts in and changed them to a bright color to differentiate them from the other countries that had not had performs.

Note: I apparently kept saving this instead of publishing, but here it is, so, hooray.
