\n<\/strong>You can’t beat the LOC (though I do wish they had updated the design of their website sometime since the late ’90s.) \u00a0Collections focus on America, with maps organizaed around cities and towns, transportation, wars and battles, exploration, and general maps.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Has a few sections, the My Maps<\/a>\u00a0section has maps of historical periods and events from Canada, the USA, and Europe. \u00a0The Maps+<\/a>\u00a0section\u00a0has original source maps from various countries and time periods.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Has maps of various historical periods and places, organized by time period.<\/p>\nMap blogs:<\/h1>\n
\n<\/strong>Frank Jacobs loves maps, but finds most atlases too predictable. He\u00a0collects and comments on all kinds of intriguing maps\u2014real, fictional,\u00a0and what-if ones…<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>It hasn’t been updated in 3 years, but has a nice collection of maps with analysis, plus the author is way into Minard (creator of the Napoleon’s March infographic we looked at) which is cool to see other things by the master mapper.<\/p>\n
\nCartography, neogeography, and genius loci in a networked world. A newer blog with just a few posts, but interesting.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Ed Epping from the Art Department sent me the link to this site with the comment, “…the MOTHERLODE!” It’s true, amazing infographics projects here, worth spending the time to browse through and see what’s going on.\u00a0 From their own description: \u00a0“VisualComplexity.com\u00a0intends to be a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project’s main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines…<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>…and so is this blog. \u00a0Excellent infographics, often around society, politics and health issues.<\/p>\n
\nExcellent blog on infographics and the visual representation of data, charts and graphs, statistics, you name it. \u00a0They also have a book (kind of technical, but not impossible) that is in our class library in the Design Studio.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Title says it all \u2014 everything from the latest inforgraphics to classic (and funny) magazine charts, and even photos\u00a0of Venn diagram tattoos. \u00a0All the ways information can be graphed and charted.<\/p>\n
\nMore humorous infographics, maybe trending a bit towards the kind of things that might be in glossy hipster magazines rather than more abstracted representations of information (bar graphs and charts and such-like) but still worth a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
