Looking at Data – Graphic and Information Visualizations

This one might be another one of those multi-posts. Why? There’s a lot of awesome work being done on the topic of information visualization. I mean think about it. Is it more fun to look at information and data on a boring presentation and spreadsheet or some cool visualization? I love them and after you look at some of these creative charts and images, you’ll probably fall in love with them too. Let’s start shall we? This post is just a collection of a few really neat ones that you should check out. Visualizing information has never been easier on the eyes and so much fun!
