Data visualisation and information graphics

Interesting data visualisation projects, some more accessible than others, sponsored by GE. This one (tiny illustration above) comparing perceptions of innovation with measurable indices, is particularly compelling.

 If you needed a contrasting example, to show where data visualisation and information graphics part ways, Data in context, by Peter Orntoft might be a good choice. Eye-catching, although for me the image gets in the way of the data (particularly when the detail is in white on grey).
