Love the Isometric Perspective's depticting the inner workings of the body in these editorial spreads. visit erika's other spreads, think this one won an editorial award 2007 but there is the heart.

hope you all had a good christmas.
Inner Body Isometrics
Circular Visuals
Great visual by pedro, extremely current and very useful to see just at a glance the sheer increase over time just by their size. the red stands out very well with a minimal black and white structure similar to Once More Around the Sun, with little bits of information giving reasons as to the increase. ceheck out his others here: eco footprints (isometric similar technique to 3D
CV Map), elections (robert kosara/eager eyes contest, very nice technique/idea), 700billion
& more.
What is the relationship between wine varieties and flavor components? This visualization attempts to show the strength of these relationships. I culled descriptive flavor words from over 5,000 published wine tasting notes written between 1995-2000 in a major Australian wine magazine. Written by Carl Tashian for Visualizing the Five Senses, a class at http://itp.nyu.edu.
Really great interactive visual, minimal. more here: http://visualthinkmap.ning.com/photo/wine-flavour-wheel-by-carl
great post from info aesthetics by andrew v moere
girl talk is the DJ name for gregg gillis and is great visual using colour to distinguish the different songs and layers of tracks that he mixes up along a neat circular timeline covering his slot. think there are sites that let you cut up tracks, will me check... www.splicemusic.com and there is the BBC music cubes, lets you build up your favourite tracks but not splice i think.
anyhow great visual with the artists faces jumping off for a bit of ease of
recognition.
think i saw it posted by randy k/coolinfographics.blogspot (sorry would post
hyperlink but need to dash to shop)

Blank Canvas
Reminds me of the artists christo & jean claude wrapping the arch way in italy and other places. The commercial is called 'Blank Canvas' and questions what would be possible if all design ideas could start from a blank piece of canvas. Great changing of our perspectives and making us re-see the world which a good designer/artist learns to do.
Learning to Look: A Handbook for the Visual Arts (Phoenix Books)(visual thinking), good book by joshua c taylor.
The all new Ford Kuga, which may just make it State side in a few years, combines Ford's new kinetic design with all-wheel-drive and on-and-off-road capability. How well Europe will receive this new CUV will be known when the Kuga goes on sale in June.
The commercial was directed by Danish director Nicolai Fuglsig, who also directed guinness domino ad which was a great triumph for their brand I think returning them back to their surreal, quirky, mexican-look brilliance started by amv bbdo with Snail Racing (bet on black) by directed by frank budgen, Swimmer by directed by jonathon glazer & of course Surfers by j glazer (who also did dreamer with those great squirrels).
Now Guinness made you visually think.
Anyhow veared off from Nicolai's great wrapped blank canvas ad, the music is by French singer Camille.
Brilliant

Visual Body
Here are some creative visualisation like the video above of excellant
mapping into
displaying the inner workings of the human body. Really creative, full coloured
animated depiction of the human arteries really imaginative insight.
Really neat promotional video from the hybridmedicalanimation.com.
found here: http://coolinfographics.blogspot.com/2008/08/awesome-medical-visualizations.html
The visible body is no less imaginative, informative and detailed with its
full coloured deptictions. They quite rightly state that they can be used
for:
Instructors:
Use it in the classroom to show structures and their relationships.
Students:
Use it as you study to help you visualize and memorize.
Health Professionals:
Use it in your office or exam room to teach patients about their conditions.
Everyone:
Use it to explore and learn about your amazing human body

Although these visualisations may not be as highly creative depicting the
human body with its silky intricacies, smooth colours without the more intimate
depth perception created by with the 3d perspective they are still as
informative.

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.
Communication Animation
Saw it and thought I do like the sketched animation look. always draws my attention. A Brief History of Communication, the new ad for The Carphone Warehouse, is a charming stop motion animation by Kristofer Strom, the Swedish artist behind You Tube hit Minilogue (equally as creatively brilliant).
There is a wonderful sequence of the development of the phone from the circular dial, to seperate buttons and then a quaint cultural script of the old 'brick' mobile phones. Then its decrease in size sequenced wonderfully in a clockwise twist from phone, to Ipod/Mp3, to mouse (with quirky/surreal ear phones as its wire) & to RSS symbol (blogging/feeds).
Still with more shifting directions/perspectives it continues fast and sharp until back to mobile with GPS mapping technology into a laptop finishing with the future technology of flying engine subtly anchoring that Chitty Bang Bang idea of flying automobiles.
If it was stop motion, there must have been a thousand photos, but it was worth every last one.
Excellant
cheers
Kristofer

3D CV Map
Cartographer of Complexity. This map is brilliant on so many levels. It has a timeline at the heart mapping its creator's, Arnaud Velten, career from 1992 - 2008.
In a similar vein to the previously posted Life Map by Ritwik Dey it colour codes his subject/interests & locations in to 5 colours Green, Light Green, Yellow, Orange & Red (top left). These are then used as a key to his timeline in the middle near the red circle for 'You are here' I think vous etes ici translates to, my french is limited (but you could presume to start there as it is the first, bold red graphic epicentre almost).
Under the subjects headings for Graphics/Illustration Green are Typography, Creation, & Mise en Page (I think 'read the page' similar to mise en scene). This then progresses to Communication light green, Multimedia yellow, Marketing orange & (I guess, weak french) Intelligence strategies red which is how Arnaud has arrived at Cartographer of Complexity demystifying problems (again, weak french).
In the top right it is very compact and gives extreme depth to this spatial information visualisation (infographic) not through the perception of 3d depth in the 2d form (which is executed brilliantly btw), but actual quantity of data are his competencies of software understanding, frontpage, dreamweaver, corel (similair to freehand), photoshop, flash, indesign, after effects, premiere...
The centre steming from his timeline link off to his jobs, blog interests... so much detail, wish I could read french better as i would probably understand a lot more.
I wonder if his sponsor at the bottom/center, International Bank of Art Money exists.
Absolutely Fantastic Map.
Real Pleasure, thankyou Arnaud.

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.
Typographic City - The Child
Alex Gopher visualises typographically new york city in this highly creative video The Child. It is crafted superbly and is wonderful modern concrete poetry animated. It was directed by H5 who I first noticed in Quentin Newark's What is Graphic Design?.
I came accross The Child when viewing another typographic experiment when I discovered the blog TextVis Recherche 3 featuring Graphic City. It is a pure typography animation which involved the exploration of typography and also the personal feeling of the modern cities. This blog captured a huge range of typographic animations, experiments that are in circa. Great Blog and wonderful text visuals.Life Map
Excellant visualisation of user ritwikdev for work on Information Design course at Parsons.
He charts his life between ages 6 and 24 with a revealing honesty of family. Great work looking at the self with the varying rainbow colours changing in scale on the top in these warm vibrant colours of his creative side each colour representing a discipline Drawing, Reading, Singing and further progressing in his Academic studies to Graphic Design, 3d modelling, then to MFA Advertising, Print, Ambient Music.
Then the subtle gradaution creating sublime salience of light blue to dark in the 'Non Academic' of Mechanics, Physics progressing to Code Art probably influenced by John Maeda no doubt, Info Viz.
The very bottom has a good reflection of life mentioning joining Boy Scouts, School Captain, Troop Leader, Mothers Illness, Relationships.
The Very Top if all this wasnt enough he has room to slip in more info of his geographic location over these years. But dont forget there is still room on the right to add to his life from now onwards...
Brilliant Multiple Subjective Map.
