Child Obesity
In: Maps Science Source: WSJ
23 Jul 2009Looks like a nice chart. Too bad it’s squished, 3d, and slightly out of focus. I get the impression a lot of graphics people are either on their summer vacations already, or distracted getting ready for them (I know I am).
School Days
23 Jul 2009A hodge-podge of school related facts. You always walk away from a Good infographic wanting more, but nobody does the easy read overviews as well as they do.
