A few infographics:

• Mapping Switzerland. Exhibition attempts at finding new ways to describe the identity of Switzerland ranging from the scientific to the artistic. See the PDF for all infographics. (Src.)
• Information Aesthetics. "Form follows data - towards creative information visualization." Excellent resource.
• InfoVis 2006. "Computer-based information visualization, or "infovis", centers around helping people explore or explain data through systems that include static or interactive visual representations."
• Vizster: Visualizing online social networks. And the supporting research paper (PDF) on the same subject.

SXSW Design Eye for the List Guy

Monday, March 13, 2006 01: 37 PM

Our SXSW panel Design Eye for the List Guy is this evening at 5. I'll be posting links to the finished work after the show. Should be fun. Our "List Guy" may even be in the audience...

• craigslist redesigned homepage
• craigslist redesigned listings page
• Design Eye. Website explaining our panel.

Please note: This redesign panel at SXSW was an independent "exercise" in redesigning craigslist - something this panel does every year by choosing a different website to redesign. Some are under the impression that this design has been implemented in some cities. This is not the case. craigslist did not commission this exercise. Nor is there any implication that this design ever would be adopted by craigslist. This redesign exercise was done by a panel of independent designers with no input from or collaboration with craigslist. Thanks.
