Infographic of the Week: Religions and Income
Fascinating chart and article from NYT asking if religion plays a role in determining your financial position in the world. Most of all, though, I loved the use of color, turning a pretty simple plot chart into some delicious candy. Nice one!
Info Visualization as Storytelling: Little Red Riding Hood
So well done. Of course, once I saw the VW Bus diagram, I was sold. Really fun. Also, it reminded me that I really don’t remember the LRRH story all that well.
Bonus Infographic of the Week: How To Take Great Self-Portraits
This one reminds me of the type of cool infographics we used to see in the local paper (San Jose Mercury News, are you alive?) Well, not exactly. This illustration is hella cool. I mean, it features a hipster! And, it’s in color. But anyways, for some reason it reminds me of that stuff. Do newspapers do those anymore? I never see them. All the “infographics” related to news these days comes from blogs or maybe some graphic design student. Anyhow, I advise you to try out these techniques. I am.
