2010: A Formal Display of the Obvious

In: Culture Graphic Design (general) Humor Innovative

7 Jan 2010

An entertaining compendium of visualizations about the upcoming year, created for Chronogram Magazine. The magazine write-up included a wonderful self-denigrating statement from designer Jason Cring: “Cring believes infographic purists like information design guru Edward Tufte would be appalled. ‘Tufte’s very opinionated about the right and wrong ways to present information. He would not approve of any of this, I’m quite sure.’”

Much of this is pretty hard to read quickly, and the layout is hideous.
Sorry, no. I am appalled as well.

It is somewhat clever though – but far too cluttered.

It’s a concept cover for a magazine. For entertainment purposes only.
