It is here, just noticed it here at Benjamin Wiederkehr and Christian Siegrist: www.datavisualization.ch/

looks really good. IA's previous versions were very good, and they have managed
to improve upon them.

loved the isometric, but they have given it further depth like the tubes and it
has the level of popularity with the height dimension explored.

I like how they have brought in the people symbols/isotypes walking in this
new geographic terrain of the web similar to what was done on this

I think it is a great improvement, not that it needed it. wish i knew how to
say 'brilliant, thanks' in japanese.

Periodic table of Typefaces

Periodic table of Typefaces


Periodic_Table_of_Typefaces cameron wilde

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.

also i'm included there: http://visualthinkmap.ning.com/photo/photo/show?id=2168552%3APhoto%3A1119

Periodic Table of Design

6dfb8845509f5a8eeaf6a9b635ebed88 Periodic Table of Design

Problem solving [Ps], Visual thinking [Vt], Information [In], Communication [C], Language [L], Technology [T], Shapes [S], Form [Fo] & Function [Fu].

Just the first 9 elements in my periodic table of design. I had a sketched idea to try it in one of my notebooks. then saw the periodic table of visualisation methods by Ralph Lengler and Martin J. Eppler, had seen simon pattersons rhodes to reason done in 95' and so kept making notes of things that should be included until had a good structure (below). might have missed things but found some of the elements were already covered under another. any other suggestions please let me know.

Not quite as interactive as the visualisation methods table by eppler and lengler but hopefully equally as useful to overview the topic of design and have a substantially improved awareness of design releated issues/elements.

This is such a clever little map for yet another New York sourced magazine (see Key Magazine NY Times post).

This popular underground map style created by Harry Beck subverted into another context. Since Simon Patterson subverted the underground map style in The Great Bear 1992 i think it has ignited many more styled.
