Information Is Beautiful

Information is beautiful, and so is this blog! Writer and designer David McCandless finds gorgeous ways of illustrating information: "I'm interested in how designed information can help us understand the world, cut through BS and reveal the hidden connections, patterns and stories underneath. Or, failing that, it can just look cool!" Check out the posts on the oil spill, Twitter, and selling music online. McCandless also highlights the work of other cool designers. The blog even has a fun interactive games section--all beautifully designed, of course. We love that this visual approach to information helps us look at the world in new ways.
