Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music

I've been watching Seven Ages of Rock, the 7 part BBC documentary on Rock music. I found this- unbelievably simple, but very very informative.

Visualising Poverty

Ha, so the maps are up on the Density Design Lab flickr page.

50 great examples of infographics

http://blogof.francescomugnai.com/2009/04/50-great-examples-of-infographics/

M of them seem to be by students of the Density Design lab course I did at Politecnico di Milano. The first one that you see, called 'This is Living' was one of the 6 final complexity maps that were created on Poverty (the one my group worked on was food poverty). Hopefully I can find the rest of the maps+videos online soon.

Filmy stats

This one is hilarious. A review of Ghajini (the hindi one) with very very funny mathematical diagrams.

Le Grand Content

We saw this in class today amongst other motion-type info graphic videos. It tries to mimic the language of powerpoint but ends up being unbelievably poetic :)

Le Grand Content examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential. Intersections and diagrams are assembled to form a grand 'association-chain-massacre'. which challenges itself to answer all questions of the universe and some more. Of course, it totally fails this assignment, but in its failure it still manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters.

Newsmapping

http://marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/newsmap.cfm



Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator.

Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap's objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.

Density Design

This is the blog of the information graphics class that I'm attending.

Density Design

Super interesting and super organised...everything is up on the blog, including our timetable for the semester! (in italiano though) There is also a flicker page that links from the blog, that is updated with the class's work.

(Lots to do with grapheeks at NID!!!!)

Please to be looking around nicely :)

Infomen

Infomen is an Information and graphic design firm jointly run by designers Aman Khanna and Carlos Coelho.

A lot of information graphic work. For those interested, there are a couple of signage projects as well in their portfolio (they're explained a lot better than any of the signage projects on the Pentagram website).
