IBM Slides from 1975

Simple/Beautiful from the Blogosphere*

Maybe it's just the blogs I read, or the fact that I'm not deep in the infographic spheres of influence, but I've noticed an appeal to the people in a lot of recent infographics getting hits out there recently. It takes the formula--display data through easy-to-grasp visual aesthetics--and puts a culturally-specific, almost self-referencing twist on …

All the Data That’s Fit to Print

Data visualizations help people quickly and easily understand complex data sets. But in this great article, Clive Thompson of Wired argues that in order to be intelligently informed in matters of politics and policy, people need to become statistically literate. It's a great point, and not to be taken lightly. I think a lot of …

Simple Starting Place

I really like this diagram from The Infrastructurist showing how residents of major cities get to work. Living in NYC, I was surprised by the number that said they drive to work (bridge and tunnel crowd? cab-to-work Midtown types?), and generally underwhelmed/unsurprised by the minuscule beige "bike to work" area. It's kind of telling that …

Mouse Path ☆

Here is my favorite Mouse Path visualization thus far. I encourage my Publishing and Design colleagues who are also using Mouse Path to upload their designs. I will create a tag for these posts as well.

Everyone at the Lab worked really hard to pull off the event, which was …

Twitter Code Swarm ☆

Sketch of time-based visualization

I like that this infographic has information that is broadly related, yet pretty diverse – making for an interesting mash-up of ideas. Plus, it's rendered in a sparse, minimalist aesthetic.

I always forget how big we might actually want images... this is a good reminder. Can you even find vga?

When the “graphic” trumps the “info” ☆

I am a big fan of the art and mission of 20x200, a Jen Bekman project that brings art lovers and art makers together by offering affordably priced, limited-edition pieces by up-and-coming artists. While browsing through the recent additions, I came across these great pieces by Chad Hagen. Hagen inverts the expectation of the infographic …

Site Inspire

Site Inspire has some very nice sites to peruse. The site itself is well organized as well.

Website Styles

Wonderwall More than the fancy, animated projects gallery, I like the simple menu on top and the way info is displayed in individual project pages.    Daggerfin Warm, simple, and slick.
