My Twin Peaks Infographic: Accomplished!


Follow up to my post from nearly a year ago: this is the completed Twin Peaks Before and After Infographic! I wrestled with the design for a while, but finally came to the final version this past fall. 

To recap - or explain the project to new viewers - this infographic maps the main character actors of David Lynch’s TV series Twin Peaks in their notable roles before and after the series. It's color coded in the hue of Twin Peaks: cherry pie red, black coffee brown, dead lips blue, broken-heart-necklace gold, and of course that cosmic neon green used in the title text. Each colored border around the actors’ photos represent connections between their acting roles.

The order of the cast was decided by free association, with Kyle MacLachlan's Agent Cooper going first and his nemesis Windom Earle (played by Kenneth Walsh) conveniently placing last, along with the other odd morally questionable characters. 

For the background, I attempted to blend the forest with what truly lies within; the black and white chevron floor pattern and red curtains from the Black Lodge.

Each color represents a certain TV show or franchise except for the gold color. The gold border called “Find the Other Half” (in reference to Laura Palmer’s missing broken heart necklace) indicates that an actor shares the screen in a movie or TV series with just one other Twin Peaks cast member. There were 14 pairings which would have made the infographic an ugly confusing rainbow if I stuck with the color code, so I decided to consolidate them while also making it like a game.
The connections may surprise you...
