Sony pictures sponsored these awesome flowcharts to promote the upcoming movie “How Do You Know”. The best part is you don’t see the whole chart at once – you make your choices, and it reveals just those results (why is this the first time I’ve seen this done!? It’s so simple.). Created by Jetset Studios.

16 Dec 2010Ok, the content of this chart is nothing new – and the intent is basically linkbait. But the design is fairly intriguing: it’s an exploding map to a badly overlapped radial chart, with categories. It both works and doesn’t work. I love it and hate it at the same time. Bravo!

30 Nov 2010Stunningly beautiful graphics on Formula 1 tracks and races, by Luis Chumpitaz. He even managed to make bilingual diagrams looks good. (Thanks to William Navarro for the link.)
Some airlines (Southwest and Jetblue) have made choosing flights an almost pleasant experience by clearly presenting available flights and costs — most other airlines still suck. Hipmunk is a new flight search tool which applies some simple design techniques to aggregate options clearly.

OkTrends has analyzed it’s database of user behavior to examine several rumors about homosexual behavior, compared to heterosexuals. Not surprisingly, none of them are true. The whole article is fascinating.
An interesting radial variation on a scatter plot, displaying multiple variable from 50 states. It’s . (via the promising new visualization site Visualizing.org)
A great monthly status board for market and economic indicators. Click on anything – the popup details are great.
Stanford Student Vadim Ogievetsky is writing some software to allow the automated creation of timeline charts like XKCD’s “Interactions of Move Characters”. I didn’t dig too deep into this, but there’s lots of detail there is you’re interested. (via)
Dshort always has interesting medium/long-term analyses. I really like the representation of historic tax brackets in the bottom half of this one (based on data from taxfoundation.org)
Harsh, but innovative (even though it came out in 2005). Additional info on the campaign.

23 Mar 2010Ok, I’d like to think they were inspired by my earlier post — but probably not.

22 Mar 2010I really like the design. What would be fabulous is if people could use existing online tools for transport schedules, but annotate them with their real experience. (via)
