Super-amazing visual note-taking of a fascinating talk 'The Crisis of Capitalism'. I just bought a high-res version of the output.

Here's this webpage. Possibly not the best example, but done in 2 mins.

Stefanie Posavec is one of my favourite designers. She's produced another awesome project... this time the album artwork for OK Go's latest album (you know, those guys on the treadmills on YouTube). She writes:

"OK Go are an American band who are brilliant at combining their music with great visual concepts and great designers (see here, here, and here), so Greg McInerny and I were excited when Damian Kulash Jr., the band's lead singer, asked us to visualise the song lyrics for their upcoming album as well as text from the album's namesake, the book The Influence of the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the Blue Colour of the Sky by General A.J. Pleasonton. These visualisations then provided the basis for the album artwork."

Done by the very talented illustrator Jess Wilson. I'm not typically the religious type (at all) but stuff like this might help convert me... maybe. 

Data viz talk sparks passionate debate (and a manifesto)

And a video of the actual talk.

Very interesting. Tried it out but it couldn’t find any social activity on my Facebook! From Manuel Lima’s Visual Complexity blog: http://bit.ly/mS9YO

Don’t look like much, but head to the site and when you rollover the various examples you see specific examples of data visualization techniques. Quite fabulous.

Site here.

The power and beauty of data visualization is something that the crew at Made By Many always get excited about.

Making previously ‘invisible’ information visible, not to mention aesthetically stunning, is a fascinating and rapidly growing field.

So I’m super-delighted to let you know that Manuel Lima, all-round dataviz guru, curator of the brilliant Visual Complexity blog, and recent TED speaker, will be speaking in London at Made By Many’s offices next Tuesday 25 August between 3.30-4.30pm.

Manuel will be re-presenting his TED talk on understanding complex interconnectedness and highlights from a range of fascinating information visualization projects. There will also be a chance for audience discussion and Q&A after the presentation.

There are very limited public seats available at this (free) event. To register your interest in attending, send your name and email address to justin AT madebymany.co.uk.

Here’s a map of the location. We’ll be starting right on 3.30pm so please get there a few minutes early.
