Nonsense Charts

Ian Cheung — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:48:49 +0000

I have a personal dislike of poorly designed graphical information. I feel that the more important the data, the more time and effort should go into designing it live up to communicating what it’s representing. And of course there’s those horribly ugly charts that make you cringe upon the hour-long meeting ahead of you from first glimpse of that lurking Microsoft charting hell demon. At times like that I’d rather look at an eye-pleasing chart that represents nothing than the series of eye-raping dribble that lies ahead.

Well look no further Chad Hagen has designed some info graphic eye candy derived from no data. These designs may offer pleasure to one’s aesthetic appetite and perhaps inspire more visually pleasing approaches towards presenting real data.

Here & There

“Here & There is a project by S&W exploring speculative projections of dense cities. These maps of Manhattan look uptown from 3rd and 7th, and downtown from 3rd and 35th. They’re intended to be seen at those same places, putting the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands, both looking down and looking forward.”
