The last few weeks have been pretty much some of the most continuously hectic weeks I've ever had, even though the outcomes seem pretty small right now. It's funny that as uni was meant to be drawing to a close I've actually been in nearly every day and working evenings on uni related things. (Perhaps we should have had a degree show at the beginning of the course!)
Anyway. I have a ton of posts to start getting up here and get back into the swing of things, one of which was a post about this awesome visualisation I saw last week on GOOD magazine:
You can see it bigger here, on GOOD's website. I think they do a new one every week?
I love this style at the moment, Monocle do a lot of similar things, there's something about that condensed typeface and the shapes. It's also so much more engaging than a bar chart, without being at all complicated.
We had a brief in uni that could have come out this way, but no-one really came close. My outcome was a silly video. A few of us are very good at fancy looking graphs, but it's a really powerful skill to be able to visualise in this way. If it's done properly.
Speaking of which, Katiemaybe posted a very similar blog earlier which inspired me to get on with this one. You may recognise her from the father christmases in the park advert. Her blog is good. Check it out!
