Infographic of the Day: Felton’s Annual Report 2010
Nicholas Felton is one of THE go to guys in the data visualisation industry. With his annual reports he has paved the way for many dataviz wannabes (including me!) and this year he does not disappoint, as he dedicates his annual report to his father, who died in September, and he explores a whole lifetime in a series of beautiful charts and graphs.
From where his father travelled, to his hobbies right down to the music he enjoyed Felton captures the very essence of his father’s life in a beautifully detailed manner.

Strata Conference 2011 - Make Data Work
I unfortunately was not lucky enough to attend Strata Conf - Make Data Work, however O’Reilly, the conference organiser and the lovely people that they are, have put up footage on YouTube of the keynote presentations for everyone to enjoy.
So, if like me, you missed out on what appears to be one awesome event, check out the videos on YouTube.
Infographic of the Day: Typefaces of the World
It may only be just before 9am here in the UK, but I have already seen my ‘infographic of the day’. This attractive chart, by Shelby White shows the typefaces most commonly used in design today, where they come from and the year it was made. Okay, so half the world is missing… but it’s a great example of simple, clean but beautiful information design nonetheless. Just waiting for a hi-res version to be released…
