For us Americans Wallstats has one of the most significant and suprisingly easily readable informative "posters" I've ever seen: Death and Taxes (nonflash image version Here). Linked because the real thing is 3500x2300 so a thumbnail would be useless.
It's a graphical representation of the yearly US discretionary budget arranged in a very self explanatory way. To get you started: Every circle is sized relative to the total discretionary budget, labelled in it's amount and percentage (red for expense, green for income), and the circle itself is a logo representing what the money is being spent. |
Outstanding contribution above. Kinda gives me pause to immediately jump into the sillier stuff, so for now, actual beneficial knowledge to learn, be aware of, and realize.

Rapid economic growth in China has fueled massive energy demand from burning of high carbon-emitting fossil fuels - oil, gas and coal.

Population of the Dead

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2739/...d2f75f90_b.jpg by Jonathan Gosier all information provided and detailed by the graphic are taken from sources within the last six months. header (synopsis) from the image: The numbers are highly speculative but are as accurate as modern science allows. It’s widely accepted that prior to 2002 there had been somewhere between 106 and 140 billion homo sapiens born to the world. The graphic below uses the conservative number (106 bn) as the basis for a concentric circle graph. The red dot in the center is scaled to represent how many people are currently living (red) versus the dead (white). The vertical line represents time. The spectral graph shows the population ‘benchmarks’ that were used to estimate the population over time. Adding up the population numbers gets you to 106 billion. The two spheres are then used to compare against other numbers. read more about the speculation, debate and 'carrying capacity' of our world's resources from the source of visualization here. |

How To Feed The World
http://i39.tinypic.com/2v3q0z8.jpg
How To Feed The World is a 9-minute film directed by Denis van Waerbeke for an exhibition called 'Bon' Appetit at a science museum in Paris. It’s mainly aimed at kids aged 9 to 14, so the tone is slighty educational, but the inventive graphics and energetic animation keep the tone light and funny, while also illustrating a serious situation.

Eurocontrol, the European air traffic agency, said the travel disruptions that reverberated throughout the world Thursday were even worse on Friday, with about 11,000 flights expected to operate in Europe instead of the usual 28,000. It said delays will continue well into Saturday as the massive yet invisible ash cloud moves slowly south and east. --(AP Photo/NOAA) |

I found a 2010-retrospectacle one, which, yeah, I should have already posted last week, but I've been delayed.

Hi Jetée
I'm still discovering threads on this forum. Thank you for providing me with an extrememly well-spent 5 hours of Sunday Morning. I appreciate this, and if I come across any good content on my travels, I will contribute. Best wishes :) |
So basically infographics (not a word) is any picture with information? I mean, most everything being posted can be called something else, charts and bar graphs, etc. My point is not to knock the thread, but more curiosity as to the origin of the term.

I don't think the map is terribly useful, and its not all that accurate unless the author continously monitors nation internet usage on a per-month basis of actual average data use (he didn't; it's just based on faceless, baseless connections that are interlinked and to be seen through any random Facebook account).

author's comments: Visualizing data is like photography. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you manipulate the lens used to present the data from a certain angle. When the data is the social graph of 500 million people, there are a lot of lenses through which you can view it. One that piqued my curiosity was the locality of friendship. I was interested in seeing how geography and political borders affected where people lived relative to their friends. I wanted a visualization that would show which cities had a lot of friendships between them. click to show [boingboing.] |

[infographic ; visual of interest] Oil'd, written & animated by Chris Harmon
This amazing infographic explains what we’d have done with 205 million gallons of oil if the Gulf Oil Spill hadn’t happened...
"Last year’s Gulf Oil Spill released 205 million gallons of oil — such a huge amount, it’s hard to get your mind around. + bonus (author's comments): A year ago, a massive oil spill began in the Gulf. The entire country was glued to the news until the well was capped, and then we forgot about it. As the year anniversary was fast approaching I became curious, just how much oil was that exactly? Where would it have gone? What I found was shocking. So in an effort to further our discussion on oil dependency I created this short animation. I've spent all of my free time in the last month putting this together to help illustrate just how dependent we truly are on oil. [io9. / vimeo.] |
