Stunning Infographics and Data Visualization
Feb 02 2010 Information graphics, or infographics, are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. The graphics are used where complex information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as on signs and maps and in journalism, technical writing and education.

7 Days of Source Day #6: NYTimes GraphMaker Project: NYTimes GraphMakerDate: Fall, 2009Language: ProcessingKey Concepts: Data vizualization, graphing, NYTimes Article Search API Overview: The New York Times Article Search API gives us access to a mountain of data: more than 2.6 million indexed articles. There must be countless discoveries waiting to be made in this vast pile of information – we just need more people with shovels! With that in mind, I wanted to release a really simple example of using Processing to access word trend information from the Article Search API. This is the simplest project I’m sharing in this now multi-week source release. You can see a whole pile of radial and standard bar graphs that I made with this sketch earlier in the year in this Flickr set. Getting Started: You’ll need the toxiclibs core, which you can download here. Put the folder ‘NYT_GraphMaker’ into your Processing sketch folder. Thanks: It’s starting to get a bit repetitive, but once again this file depends on Karsten Schmidt’s toxiclibs.

Start - Nationales Cyber AbwehrZentrum NCAZ Homepage und Blog Infographics | Encountering Urbanization Although the first day of summer is not officially until June 21 in the US, many American’s consider the season to have begun yesterday with Memorial Day. For the writers here at Encountering Urbanization this summer also is a time of transition, travels and international moves as many of us just graduated (hence our recent hiatus from blogging) and are now preparing for the next steps in our careers. Even with all of these upcoming changes we are very excited to continue writing about the experience of urbanization from our new positions across the globe while also working with some new writers based at NYU Wagner’s graduate urban planning program. With all of this moving in mind I can’t help but think about how connected our cities are becoming across the world. From literal connections of passenger and cargo flights, to virtual connections based on internet communication, we are all aware of how much easier it is to conduct business abroad today as opposed to a few decades ago.
