Great British Class Calculator

The Brief

The BBC teamed up with sociologists from leading universities to analyse the modern British class system which was not fit for the 21st century and needed revitalising. We wanted to create an interactive infographic that would let people see how they fit into the new class structure as well as being a real talking point and very shareable for social media.
