My name is Tiffany and I'm an information designer. I’m also a cat lover, coffee drinker, gamer, bookworm, avid hiker, classic rock listener and most of all a big geek. Welcome to my little place on the Interwebs where I can be random.

A really nice visualisation summarising 200 years of transformative moments. I love the combination of simple, line illustrations mixed with old photography and bold, bright colours! Some great, unique ways of displaying information beyond the standard timeline format.

How do you show everything that has ever happened? Everything. This visualisation from the ChronoZoom project takes the biggest of big data - the universe itself - and makes it manageable, bringing videos, graphics and words together to picture the globe. If you roll over the scale at the top of the chart, click on origins of the modern world, jump to threshold and see just how we fit in.

A brilliant visualisation of the history of the world: “Many wikipedia articles have coordinates. Many have references to historic events. @godawful and @heychinaski cross referenced the two to create a dynamic visualization of Wikipedia’s view of world history. Watch as empires fall, wars break out and continents are discovered.” (Description provided by the creators)

Many may think that infographics are a new wave of visual design, however this is not the case at all, as this little selection over on Information is Beautiful shows. As early as 1900 people have been using infographics as a way to display and quantify data. Florence Nightingale even created this little number.
This article is definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in information design.
