This year I have become increasingly enamoured with infographics. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a good infographic must be worth 10,000. I love the way that truly amazing infographic designers can summarize and capture detailed and complex information in something that is both beautiful and easy to understand.
This obsession has got to the point where I now have a section dedicated to infographic blogs in my RSS reader. When I share the ones I really like people often ask where I get them from, so I thought I would share the love. These are the infographic blogs/sites that make the grade:
My brother Jason is (kind of) a hippy that lives in a tiny town in the South Island called Greymouth. For those who don’t know that is almost completely the opposite of me, the city-dwelling (allegedly) metro sexual corporate dude. Despite this we are actually pretty similar in a lot of respects, he just showers less and wears ponchos more. He is also a really talented photographer, so hopefully he will also share some of his work via his blog (come on Jase). He has really only just begun his blogging exploits, no doubt there will be many passionate rants to come.
Sergei is a great photographer who kicks around Auckland taking some killer gig photos (among other things). He is also one of the nicest people who you will ever meet.
Ed is truly a man of many talents. He hangs out down in our fair nations capital, and sporadically writes some super quirky, interesting stuff that makes me laugh, a lot. He is also the brains behind the Pasta Man phenomenon – get on board if you are a pasta fan. As if that wasn’t enough he is also a ridiculously talented musician, featuring in bands such as the lovely Ed Zuccollo Trio. Ed is going to go far.
This is totally awesome. A time lapse video made with tilt-shift photography. Tilt-shift is rad because it makes everything look like tiny little miniatures.
Version3.0 is the virtual home of me, Duncan Blair. You will find me writing about an eclectic mix of branding, marketing, music, things that look good, and anything else that I find interesting. For more about me, head on over to find out all about version3.0.
