Same same, but different

Gapminder is a great tool. Doesn’t work with lots of combinations of data. But how to translate this into static images? Here is a nice example.

Sehr nützlich, eine kostenlose Bilddatenbank, Pixelio.

Interesting application which can bridge a bit the space between Excel data and Illustrator visualization work.

Nice example of an attractive and both visual and textual display of indicators.

Nice evolution from a standard (and as such published) Excel chart to a nice, innovative looking one (although perhaps a bit more challenging to read).

Nice way of showing how much time and effort goes when into a website design.

Very interesting data and some really nice graphics on land grabbing.

Data visualization tools grow steep in numbers. Difficult to catch up with all developments. Datavisualization.ch has a nice overview over some of these.

Interesting & informative data portal on environmental and climate change/vulnerability stuff. Well presented.

Nice graphic from here.

Die Brockhaus Encyclopedia Infografiken. Im neuen Brockhaus sind ein paar Dutzend Infografiken integriert. Sehr schön gemacht, so sieht’s aus.

Interesting, interactive map of the world from NASA to show global/local temperature changes.”The heat is on for the planet as a whole, but what has been happening where you live? Click a place on the map to find out, or enter a location in the search box in the top right-hand corner.”

Pretty simple, but attractive and clean graphics.

A clickable guide to the world’s energy use. Nice animation from Nature.

Nice tool to find a wide range of icons.

Nice chart creation by Hewlett for their grant program. Really interesting and well done!

Interesting application: Bringing the mindmap to the web. Interactive. Very smooth. But not sure if I would use it; if I would have the patience to click through the different items.

Nice tutorial with a few interesting ideas about how to display distributions.
