This is a very cool video. Two lives, synced, with timing/composition/speed/angles. Wow.
I wanted more. The angling for the plane is measured, the turning of the bus, the lovely jump in time zones/locations as a cyclist seemingly jumps through a crack linking these two locations.
Love it! Originally saw it on amazing films interludes on channel 5 (uk)

The Visual Dictionary
this looks like an excellent project that I am probably blogging that was
blogged a while ago but, well worth another blog post dedicating to it.

the only rule to the tvd, only a single word must be visible, cannot have
more than one distinguishable word.
free to sign up and a great inspiration on typography and it has an A to Z to
navigate the words.

Periodic table of Typefaces
absolutely brilliant. ok the classifying isn't perfect but the execution is
top notch. they're must know fonts for designers from gunter gerhard ith akidenz
grotesk, goudy, cassandre, baskerville, tshichold, benton, renner... and... the
dates they were created.
when i did the periodic table of design and when i did type timeline... i
thought that there had to be one made for typefaces. it has gratefully been
fulfilled in excellant style.
love it, enjoy it, share it.
see more periodic table subversions here: http://visualthinkmap.ning.com/main/search/search?q=periodic+table
quite a few.

Advertising History Timeline
this is an excellant interactive timeline, as you hover over one of the red brackets between years, it displays a drop down/up of information with specific year and a form of communication/advertisign developed such as the cuniform pictographs.
a beautiful, clean, tidy layout with white space to hold the interactive mouseover links that softly animate into the space to display more information and thew use of red and black combines well. the style is similar to Type Timeline Half 1, Kurt Schwitters on a Timeline by stefan thermerson and with a few images of important inventions/communications already displayed that have a small films/animations appeneded to their nodes gives a great liuttle bit of interactivity and focus for the users attention until the discovery of the mouseover bracket links.
also like any timeline that progresses over the western logic of left to right reading of a notoriously landscape layout there are too many dates to keep proportionatley spaced and still fit to a3 size or 1024 x 768 screen. So the creatore at nonline give these bold brackets with small arrows for left and right as the most dominating feature to hint at the scrolling navigation of the years. What was an intersting interactive navigation of space was done for British History Timeline by BBC, which doesnt keep the same proportionate space but divides history into colour categories and expands/stretches the display for each category.
My only let down is the limited amount, although a great tool and overview already provided, a limited amount of information as i was left wanting more history appended to the smaller grey brackets. but their are plenty of brackets for this to be rectified in the future.
great tool for students/people to interactive with themselves or even be instructed through, just keep the use of pictures to break up the text.

Sound Sewing
Lovely Work. checkout shirt sound too.
Design duo Patrick Li and Ian Gallais make up Sounds Butter which has created Visible
Sound.They describe it best:
The intention for this project was to make sound visible. As there is already a variety of ways in which sounds can be seen (equalizers, sub-titles, etc.), my aim was to produce a device where that representation of sound would be a physical one. I therefore used the sewing machine as the basis for the project as I feel it is synonymous with industry, and making physical products. Due to limitations in my computer programming skills this model of a stereo/sewing machine is a prototype of how I imagined the actual product would look.

Notebook Route Map
This is showing the visual communication of my thoughts on page(s), (9 pages). A visualisation through the journey of my investigation on the terrain of thoughts.
They meander accross the double page spread and mostly are connected via their physical position, i.e. a train of thought finishes, it restarts at the same point at the edge of the page on the next.
They were experiments to see how I visualised my ideas. Whether their physical arrangement through the notebook of my research, ideas, investigations helped me understand better. Re-Re-Reinvestigation.
The second image (route map) is for others to use, simply overlay it on any terrain thou wishes squire, your own notebook pages, maps etc. Then visually think and elicit thoust own topographic connections and routes.
It is quite a conceptual abstract notion to take the visual direction of my thoughts on page(s), the journey of my investigation on the terrain of thoughts and utilise this route with alternative content/terrain. Really like the abstract/organic lines mixed with geometric shapes bringing a bit of order to my thoughts (chaos).
Some experiments I have created, playing with that great notion of 'the map is not the territory' - baudrillard. Hence investigations into what is the territory, and can you utilise maps in different territories. Spatial arrangments intensifying/enhancing cognition. Got me buzzing.
Hope they're interesting.

Imagine Visual Thinking
Beautiful graphics, dooodles, animation visually interpreting the spoken narrative language of John Lennon.
38 years ago, Jerry Levitan, who was then only 14 years, managed to interview John Lennon, during his stay in Montreal. Starting recordings of the interview, filmmaker Josh Raskin has created an animation that reproduces, word for word, visual language, the arguments of John Lennon.
'A small gem that reminds me of the thematic map in motion' by Philippe David Boukobza.
It has nice literal interpretation of johns dialgoue. Lovely layered effects with varying zoom perspectives.
I am curious about a graphic of we all have hitler inside and we all have christ inside when referring to violence.
Also love the graphic of sounds/music literally within inside countries and beautiful organic changing from each individual world shape.
I agree philippe, fantastic gem from josh raskin and co.
World of Art Game
This was a great diagram I discovered that helps understand/simplify some of the complexities of the art world in an excellantly designed visualisation.
Adelheid Mers subverts this diagrma of rather than being just a diagram he would transform it into a game, with players following the artists.
Start life at college, finish with a clear mind. It has excellant pictographic symbols of people/places with clean, soft contrasts/graduation of monochromatic colours.
'ABOUT WORLD OF ART: Curator Mary Jane Jacob had seen the diagrams after Lakoffat the Chicago Open Studio, and commissioned me to create a poster for a workshop symposium she was organizing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago:
"Setting Up Your Art and Your Life - Strategies for a Sustained Practice".
The idea was to create a diagram of an artist, not based on a book, but on my own expertise. Conjuring up elements I wished to include, it first became apparent how crowded the world of art is (artists, audiences, curators, juries, dealers, students, critics, historians etc.), then how many locations are involved, and then, in discussion with Mary Jane, it became very clear that how we value the players and the locales varies greatly as well.
As the task was not to diagram my personal belief system, two design possibilities presented themselves: to indicate all possible varieties, or to make a game in which all possibilities are evoked. The game seemed to be appropriate, and it was printed on the rear of the poster that announced the symposium, as a treat of sorts. Later I also printed a larger version and made game pieces to go along with it'.

Literature Map
Wonderful little map of relating authors to their similarities, genre. It is similar to music plasma map by Frederic Vavrille previously posted with how it connects musical artists together and actors likewise in a real time animated arrangment steming from the centre of who you searched.
I like tom sharpe and it is no surprise that terry pratchett, p g woodhouse & fear and loathing by hunter s thompson feature in my map.
The graphics/visual leave little to be desired, a bleak blue could have been contrasted with sharp black for the white lettering and maybe a more elegant but still easy to read french script font with a touch of embellishing with it or somewhere in the map display, edges/border. Could heed some advice from observing the subtle style of music plasma.
Anyhow it is a great website tool by marek gibney, literature-map.com produces these great text visual maps of different authors that you might be intersted in to enjoy as I can possibly more comedic pleasure through similarities to one you input.
