Gorgeous visualization of social activities in New York, London and Paris.
“My new years resolution is to make an infographic on every This American Life ever made. The idea is to expand and add context to the stories and information contained in the shows. Basically, anything I am curious about while listening to the pieces.” Lovely.
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.
“The United States spends more on medical care per person than any country, yet life expectancy is shorter than in most other developed nations and many developing ones. Lack of health insurance is a factor in life span and contributes to an estimated 45,000 deaths a year.” Be sure and click on the graph.
Been doing this stuff here on T Inc. for years. This just reminds me I need to step up my info visualization game a bit.
Addictive, fun and I love the inforgraphic style graphics.

Regardless of your political or religious views about a book like this, it’s hard to deny that it’s absolutely gorgeous.
This infographic that was created for NYC street vendors because of the massive language barrier they had to overcome when trying to explain various rules and regulations in a fairly loose economy. I’m curious to see how effective the technique was and if there’s some hard data to support it working, but I adore the concept. Some fun statistics in the sample. I had no idea Jerry Seinfeld used to be a street vendor, or Macy’s started as a push cart!
Incredible stuff from Tomas Nilsson.
I’m a bit late on this, but it’s yet another fantastic interactive graphic from the New York Times showing the water landing of flight 1549.
Gorgeous video by Athletics showing the cost of war.
An enthralling infographic music video.
Great series of informative, large, print sized info-graphics depicting things like immigration issues and carbon emissions. Really beautiful stuff.
Yet another great infographic from the NY Times illustrating who voted against the $700 billion financial bailout plan.
“People in Greece spend almost 13 times more money on clothing as they do on electronics. People living in Japan spend more on recreation than they do on clothing, electronics and household goods combined. Americans spend a lot of money on everything.” Does anyone know where I could get a feed of just the fantastic interactive graphics the New York Times puts out? I absolutely love this stuff.
For my aunt who thought I’d never find a quilt that I liked. That red cone visualization quilt is wicked!
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.
“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.
“Oh! I’ve got a this problem with my email…” An absolutely perfect infographic depicting the problem our industry faces when we try and explain what we do.
“What we think vs. what they say we think — All the chatter on the Internet, all the traditional news media coverage, and all the pollsters — Perspctv brings it all together in a simple and elegant manner — and gives a unique “dashboard” picture of the elections at any one given moment in time, totally un-biased.” A set of infographics combining traditional news media information with what’s being said on Twitter and blogs. A good looking visualization and I love the “perspective” it gives you putting everything on one page, very nice.
Great diagram outlining how integral film works.
“In 2004 half of executives earned more than 104 times the average worker’s pay.”
“The news is seemingly thrown away into the giant recycle bin in order to be updated at the next moment.” Made me realize how disposable all this news reading I do every day is.
Another well designed interactive infographic showing how different groups voted during the Obama/Clinton presidential primary race.
Apparently Arizona’s got the cheap stuff.
I stunning inforgraphic depicting the subprime mortgage crisis across the U.S.
Nice way to view and promote the book. It’s definitely on my wish list.
Bar charts, timelines, sparklines, oh my. The article by Wilson Miner all about accessible data visualization is chalked full of great ideas and practical ways of implementing them.
