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.
“Examine Netflix rental patterns, neighborhood by neighborhood, in a dozen cities.” Truly fascinating interactive graphic. The Mad Men pattern is particularly interesting.
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.
Fantastic visualization of flags turned into pie charts based on the percentage of each color in each flag.
Looks like I nice, albeit very simplified approach to data visualization from data.gov information.
Incredible stuff from Tomas Nilsson.
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.
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.
An enthralling infographic music video.
Yep, the New York times map was by far the best. I love this collection though!
Looks pretty sweet. I’ll be installing it later today/tonight, but from the demo, I’m impressed. Every once in a while I step back and think about everything that my iPhone can do and I’m amazed. The little device is far and away the best gizmo I’ve ever owned. Period.
I love maps, and transmit maps are probably my favorite. And of transit maps, the London Underground is probably in my top 5. I haven’t found the time to watch this yet, but I’m looking forward to watching it when I finally do. From the 5 minutes I did watch, it looks fantastic.
Yet another great infographic from the NY Times illustrating who voted against the $700 billion financial bailout plan.
I’d have to agree.
“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!
Clever (and free) word based screensaver clock. It’s got a lot of nice customization options like changing the font and color scheme.
“This is a pie chart on procrastination.”
Freak. Still, the infographics are really revealing depicting some incredible feats in sports. I had no idea the DiMaggio hitting streak was the dominant.
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.
“Cymbolism is a new website that attempts to quantify the association between colors and words, making it simple for designers to choose the best colors for the desired emotional effect.” It’s never clear cut, but the associations and some of their visualizations look really useful. I just wish the site encouraged browsing words and searching a bit better. Great idea though.
“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.
The future is here. Still no word on my jet pack order though. I’m blaming UPS.
Another fun way to visualize all my tags. Sure, it’s not all that practical but it looks pretty nifty.
“In 2004 half of executives earned more than 104 times the average worker’s pay.”
Another well designed interactive infographic showing how different groups voted during the Obama/Clinton presidential primary race.
A very cool data visualization of every bus vehicle arrival at every stop in the Portland area transit system over from 4AM to 12-midnight on a weekday.
