Here is an ad hoc sampling of some of the information graphics that I’ve come across in my travels that have intrigued me in one way or another. Either I thought the design itself was superb, or the data interesting, or something else not readily quantifiable. I hope you agree that these are interesting.
If you have a chart you’d like to share, please email it to me at ideas @ usablemarkets dot com.
Otherwise, enjoy.
