A Peek Into Netflix Queues

“Examine Netflix rental patterns, neighborhood by neighborhood, in a dozen cities.” Truly fascinating interactive graphic. The Mad Men pattern is particularly interesting.

Victorian Infographics

I love the attention to detail given to these infographics. The craft and time that went into creating them is so apparent. My assumption is it’s because people really thought they would be around for a long time. Unfortunately, it’s all to common for me to feel the stuff I’m working on is just going to be deleted pixels in a few years.

Caricature Map of Europe 1914

Norway just looks creepy.

Flags By Colours

Fantastic visualization of flags turned into pie charts based on the percentage of each color in each flag.

DataMasher

Looks like I nice, albeit very simplified approach to data visualization from data.gov information.

iPhone UI Icon Set

Nice looking set of icons for the iPhone tool bar in vector form.

GOOD Transparencies Archive

The Crisis of Credit Visualized

Been linked to from just about everywhere, but it’s still great. A nearly perfect job of visualization and narrative to help explain a complex issue clearly.

The Art of the Title Sequence

I got sucked into this for about an hour tonight. Some truly amazing sequences (Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Soylent Green) and it’s great to see something that usually just book ends a show or film get archived and promoted this way.

2008 Election Maps

Yep, the New York times map was by far the best. I love this collection though!

Kanji-o-grams?

I’m not quite sure what to call these, but I really like ‘em. When I was living in Japan I was barely able to remember any Kanji. The best I could do was to remember all the town names and a few numbers.

On Wedding Design

Letterpress, pixel printing, damn. Impressive doesn’t do that justice. The laser etched moleskines… wow. Cabel wins.

Transmoflection

Just get past the painfully bad “Transmoflection” part this video does a great job talking about how the design team came about coming up withe branding for the 2010 games in Vancouver.

Free iPhone Wallpaper from Shorpy

Fun set of iPhone Wallpapers of old time photos and illustrations from Shorpy.

Olympic Medal Count Map

I absolutely love this interactive graphic depicting the medal counts since the modern games inception in 1896. Big kudos for representing the different regions using color and a rough “map” via large circles. It’s great that you can quickly flip to just a straight numerical order too though.

John Lennon interview infographic movie

“A beautiful “infographically” animated movie that illustrates a 1969 interview of John Lennon by a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan.” I can see why it almost won an academy award. I’m just constantly impressed with motion graphics and how much creativity is wrapped up into these short little films.

American Psycho: Business Card Scene

“How’d a nit wit like you get so tasteful.”

Looking back: How different groups voted

Another well designed interactive infographic showing how different groups voted during the Obama/Clinton presidential primary race.

Cubescape

A fun new tool/game/thing from Cameran Adams. Every time I see one isometric pixel art I can’t help but think of one my all time favorite games, Transport Tycoon.

Subprime infographic

I stunning inforgraphic depicting the subprime mortgage crisis across the U.S.

OS Form Elements

Photoshop form elements for various browsers and operating systems.

Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behavior

Nice way to view and promote the book. It’s definitely on my wish list.

The first Photoshop icon.

I dig it.

Black and white in color

Incredible optical illusion that makes you see a black and white image in color.

Meet the world

Powerful and incredibly well done infographic “maps”. Somalia was the most surprising to me.

HistoryShots Information Graphics

A great collection of infographics for purchase although the online viewing leaves a lot to be desired.

Car parts

A very carefully exploded VW.

Richard Hammond presents Bloody Omaha (The Graphics)

A behind the scenes look at how some graphic design students put together some impressive special effects.

Visualizing the Bible

Some truly inspiring infographics on visualizing the bible. I’m not particularly religious but this are definitely godly.
