Infographics
Perhaps you will remember last year's mention of Edward Tufte, the Galileo of Graphics, and the proliferation of graphical representations that have arisen from his work. Since we still find ourselves stranded in a creative desert, we are offering up the wonderful work of others in the area of infographics for your educationally enhanced entertainment.
Because one could get hopelessly lost on the Infopornographic website, we will start you out with a spectacular example of the representations that can be achieved in this area, and then direct you to scroll all the way down to the flags on this second string. To explore all by your onesie, just click one of those numbers in the boxes on top and scroll down any line-- you will have to wiggle your mouse a little to catch some of the displays. In any case, you will find more information than you will ever be able to digest. Careful it might be addictive.
Photo note: Kinda looks like a graph, doesn't it? As you can see, we aren't particularly inspired
