Bush


You dont need to be able to read spanish* to undertand this infographic by Samuel Granados, well maybe a little for deeper ajudication.


desaprobacion = diapproval - red


Found on density design and samuel has no doubt lost none of their brilliant design skills being a former student in information graphics + function + beauty as this parchment effect paper gives it a historical document of 'manuscript' importance. With a lovely surreality of an abstract cutting of the top head technique it has some harmony of green and red graduation with a timeline of bush's office. I should find out how long it took samuel to make the 4 pages but really good. Good tabing to create the familiar syntax of folders/files.

Really good.

Top 10 UK Brands 2007 Visualisation
Originally uploaded by visual think map
This was to visualise the top brands spatially and who owns them/other brands they own also. I started off with well known brand portfolios to visualise them like colgate palmolive but had no direction. So found this top ten list for 2007, and worked from here.

I liked the vector curved lines like with Maeda's Key magazine covrer post. kept to a soft blue, red pastel palette so you can really visualise the brands and their order, arrangment, ownership.

Was inspired by a car badges brands visual:

Street Visual Perception

ATT1D Street Visual Perception

These visual chalk drawings are great illusions of depth in our environment. changing our perspectives, and here, providing us with some wonderful humour.

Julian Beever is an English artist who's famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium . Beever gives to his drawings an amazing 3D illusion.

The second one it takes a second look to tell which ones real.

Fantastic.

Type Timeline Map

Originally uploaded by visual think map

This visual map explores the relationships/characteristics of the many different typographers/fonts, artistic movements from 1890 - 1950 charting each decade. Wanted it to be minimal style but vast in content, yet still clear and easy to follow.

It was inspired from Stefan Thermerson 'Kurt Schwitters on a time Chart' featured in the brilliant Typographica NS no. 14, December, 1966 edited by Herbert Spencer (Typographica by Rick Poynor 2001).

'...in which the practices and the techniques of typography have changed dramatically, in which technical developments have released typography from the restrictions and disciplines imposed by metal type, and allowed it to become increasingly visual and less linear, less linguistic. the frontiers between graphic design, photography, and typography have dissolved; the marriage of word and image has been consumated'

said by spencer, poynor pg 127.

Great summary of today and visualisations that we see, said in 1967, 41 years ago.

note map whole - communication (3x3 A3)

'linking notes' i think curzon (teaching) calls them.

i needed to see my whole ideas in one view, to help me connect my ideas literally accross the visual scene.

as much as this helped it was not surprisingly becoming too large, i'd have to go on a walk to see the other end (only joking). i started with the grey a4 photocopy of a previous brainstorm of communication then reflecting on it after some time i expanded it with thoughts at that time, arrangement of poetry, time, painting or speech (syntax).

Finally settled on using a notebook, as i could 'flick' back pages to reasses my research.

still it was a nice visual.
