Information is beautiful: 30 examples of creative infography

www.designer-daily.com/information-is-beautiful-30-examples-of-creative-infography-5538

Superb find from D – beautiful use of simplicity in graphic design, which is the key to any good piece of graphic design. How do you show a subject matter and/or concept so clearly, even when it is based on religious references? How do you display the mundane in such an exciting and dynamic way?

Simple - you understand the audience and the context of the subject matter on as many different levels as you can. It's like looking at an alternate reality.

Also worth having a look at Johnathan Barnbrook – good examples of intelligence and wit conveyed behind typography.

Using the internet for fun and games - there's the odd design-related bit, but it's the vengeful creativity that gets me. Happy days.

Animated goodness - 3D cell-shaded dystopian nightmare with pencil marks as texture detail.

And finally:

This has been bugging me for years, and might possibly be the most useful Illustrator thing you'll read all year. Or week. Or day.

I liked it.

TODAY

http://observatory.designobserver.com/entry.html?entry=12317

TODAY is a weekly jewel box of seemingly random, yet thoughtfully selected, images. At times tender, wicked, nostalgic, amusing, and dazzling, each edition is presented without narration, editing or explanation by its author, designer Eric Baker. "It all began as a goof. One day I sent a good friend about 50 random pictures of cheese. I don't know why, but to me cheese is funny, perhaps it is the word itself and its various connotations. Eventually I began looking closer, or should I say broader at 'things'. Things lost on the fringes...ordinary, odd, beautiful things. Esoteric images, old diagrams, typography, cartography — visions of a once promising but now extinct future."

A really clever opening scene- notice how even the pace/speed of the visuals fit in spot on with the music and gunshot sounds.
