The Malofiej 20 awards , known as the Pulitzers of the infographics world, recognize the finest infographics published across the globe. This year, more than 1,500 print and online submissions competed for the prestigious awards. National Geographic Magazine, which won best print map and two gold awards, and Internet Group do Brasil iG (gold) were notable achievements. However, as in previous years, the portfolio of graphics from the New York Times dominated the event, winning six gold medals (four print, two online), the best online map and both the ‘Best in Show’ awards for print and online submissions. So what are the secrets to the New York Times’ continued success? Here are 10 key characteristics that, when brought together in a synthesised design process, helps to separate their work from the rest.

Vous connaissez sûrement ce portrait de Maurits Cornelis Escher , grand artiste ayant utilisé la perspective et le trompe-œil dans toute son œuvre : Dernièrement, je suis tombé sur une expérimentation utilisant Google StreetView et réalisée par Onecm. Elle permet de créer une vue 360° n’importe où sur Terre (du moins aux endroits ou Google est passé prendre des photos).

Data Visualization made Fast, Fun and Easy
A couple of infographic résumé sites, vizualize.me and re.vu , sprouted up that use your LinkedIn data to show your career stats. Just create an account, connect it to LinkedIn, and you get some graphs that show when and where you worked. It's a visual form of your LinkedIn profile with a goal to replace the "old" and "boring" résumé that uses just text. Is this the best way to go though, if you're applying for a job? Other than commissioning a couple of freelancers based on their portfolios and recommendations, I haven't had any experience hiring people, but I imagine being turned off by such an infographic résumé if I were a HR person. The visual format is easy to scan, but because it it's not a traditional text layout, I'd have to figure out what I was looking at first.

Who can resist a colourful, thoughtful venn diagram anyway? In terms of blogging success, infographics are far more likely to be shared than your average blog post. This means more eyeballs on your important information, more people rallying for your cause, more backlinks and more visits to your blog. In short, a quality infographic done well could be what your blog needs right now. Ultimately, if you have a little design skill, the very best approach is to create all the simple graphs and illustrations yourself using vector graphic software.

Sense of Patterns is an on-going project, a series of printed data visualizations aiming to depict the behaviors of masses in different public spaces. The visualizations have a focus on the patterns of moving entities in public like commuters, cars and public transportation vehicles as well as the interaction between these entities and physical structures like roads, sidewalks, buildings and parks. The project intends to provide strong visuals on what we all experience in our daily lives in different cities. The first edition of the project consists of six A1 size prints and a video animation based on the data related to Vienna and its suburbs. Two different datasets provided by AIT : Austrian Institute of Technology sorted with python and visualized by using processing .

Design View / Andy Rutledge - News Redux
Digital news is broken. Actually, news itself is broken. Almost all news organizations have abandoned reporting in favor of editorial; have cultivated reader opinion in place of responsibility; and have traded ethical standards for misdirection and whatever consensus defines as forgivable. And this is before you even lay eyes on what passes for news design on a monitor or device screen these days.
Negative space logos strategically use whitespace to create the illusion of an object in that space. Negative space designs are effective in branding because they force the viewer to look twice to figure out what’s happening, though a well-executed negative space logo won’t require the viewer to look closely to have its effect. Conclusion These logos don’t have 3D effects or shiny lens flares: they’re about as simple as you can get stylistically and in many cases would fit right into a minimalist logo round-up. Despite that stylistic simplicity, though, the composition of these pieces is complex — and that gets people thinking, which is what a good logo should do.

Information graphics in context on the Behance Network
The project deals with data from a list of the social related interests of the Danish people. The list is the result of an opinion poll from a major consultancy company in Denmark. I have used the context of specific opinion polls within each interest to shape and design diagrams.Depuis 2 ans, on voit les infographies (infographics) se multiplier sur Internet. Faciles à bloguer, à microbloguer même, elles vont nous abreuver de datas , de statistiques, de chiffres bien mis en forme. Et la plupart du temps, personne ne vérifie les données. Alors l’infographie circule et est reprise par les blogs pressés (de faire du trafic). Mais heureusement Clément (alias Quietglover ) veille.
