7 Jan 2010An 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.’”
A collection of interesting charts, tables, maps, and interactive data toys -- with a focus on economics and graphic design. Enormous thanks to the bloggers who help find all this stuff, and the wonderful researchers, analysts, and graphic artists who create them.

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.
