In: Bailout| Finance| Housing| Source: FlowingData| US Economy
23 Mar 2009I recently came across FlowingData, a fantastic blog of data analysis and graphic design. Nathan covers a lot of the same territory that I do here, but casts a much broader net and has a lot of discussion about the design methods and tools of the trade. This post about Financial Crisis visualizations is a great example. The links below are to graphics I haven’t posted before (most of which are from a Good Magazine contest).
