The Design of Information

This blog is focused on information design, the creation of infographics for visual understanding of complex processes, data and ideas.

Startling Statistics

“Things change. Now what?”
That’s the tagline for a new website examining statistical indicators of how life in the U.S. has changed over the last few decades: startlingstats.com. Threestory Studio created all the graphics and designed the site. The aim of the site is to wake people up and promote dialogue about life “as we know it”. I use quotes there because who is “we” and what do “we” really know are all part of the debate. I hope you’ll take a look at the site and leave a comment or two.

    Great job Erik! These charts are really cool. Loved the little squished dude in the consumer credit one. 🙂 And the CEO compensation one is really interesting. Can’t even see the CEO now from behind his piles of green.
