Haircuts in popular music

I found this funny but also interesting infographic and would like to share it with you. The infographic illustrates the haircut of famous musicians in the pop music genre.
Try to find out which haircut fits to which musician without looking on the names. It can be a quite entertaining.

The graphic shows ín a figurative way the hairstyle of different musicians by just showing the shape of the hair without the faces. However, the graphic is still a little bit abstract because if the viewer is not familiar to the person he or she will have problems to define who is who.
You can have a try if you think you are familiar with musicians to see if for you this graphic is figurative or abstract.

The graphic is nicely organized because there is nearly in ever horizontal and vertical line the same amount of haircuts which helps to follow the graphic easily. Furthermore, the use of colour between light and dark colours helps the viewer not to get lost in the amount of information. These are the reasons why I think that this graphic has a lightness and functional style, in fact of the clear structure and colors which are used, which create an appearance of light information. Furthermore, every element in the graphic has its specific function and you can not remove elements without losing the content.

As the graphic only focuses on the haircuts of pop musicians, which are easy to recognize according to the familiarity of haircuts to the viewers eyes. The designer created this simple creation of haircuts just by designing the surface of the haircut and leaves away the faces. Through the different colors which create a novelty in the graphic, because at the first look it may seem that there is a lot of different information, although it focuses only the topic of the haircuts by the symbolic use of close ups. This creates a unidimensional character of the graphic which does not confuse while a viewer looking at it.

In my opinion this graphic could be used for a pop music magazine or also on internet pages which talk about musicians. Furthermore, I think you can use this picture as a poster in your house or apartment to entertain your friends because you can use it as a game when you cut away or hide the names of the musicians.

I would really recommend you to use this picture as an example. Put away the names and find out who is who.
