I am needing an infographic on "The Funniest and Weirdest Ways People Have Actually Died." Below is some research I did, but you are welcome to find more examples. However, all examples in your design need to be real examples and sourced at the end of your graphic. Obviously, death is a morbid topic, but all examples must be family friendly (no sexual or dirty examples). I am looking to do a lot of infographics, and will probably need more than one designer. So even if you don't win this contest, if I like your style I will reach out to you for more infographics. The contest is for 72 hours or until a clear winner is decided on. Please let me know in the thread if you have any questions. The winner will need to provide the infographic in psd or vector (preferably both, but not required). All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any PM-ed designs or questions.

@jeremiahgoogly: I am looking forward to seeing your submission. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello DigitalNoise, I am interested with this project Working on it now. When you mentioned "all examples in your design need to be real examples", may I confirm if I can use any images from the sources/links you provided? Cheers
What I mean by real examples is that you have to be able to source that someone actually died from what you show. There is some research that just shares a weird way to die, but doesn't share who may have died this way. Everything needs a resource link pointing back to the story. As for images, you will need to create your own. I cannot give permission for you to use links from the sources I gave since I do not own the copyright to these images. Illustrations and stock images (that fit) are fine.
