absolutely brilliant. ok the classifying isn't perfect but the execution is top notch. they're must know fonts for designers from gunter gerhard ith akidenz grotesk, goudy, cassandre, baskerville, tshichold, benton, renner... and... the dates they were created.
when i did the periodic table of design and when i did type timeline... i thought that there had to be one made for typefaces. it has gratefully been fulfilled in excellant style.
A new map of knowledge based on electronic data searches in which users moved from one journal to another, thus establishing associations between them.
A new map of knowledge has been assembled by scientists at the research library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. It is based on electronic data searches in which users moved from one journal to another, thus establishing associations between them.
The map includes both the sciences and the humanities in a hub and wheel arrangement, with the humanities at the center and the sciences arrayed around them. The arrangement fell out naturally from the data and is not contrived, said Johan Bollen, the leader of the research team.
In the map, published in the current issue of PLoS One, it has some great clustering and is excellant to realise through distance and colour their revelance to each other. The journals are color-coded as follows: physics, light purple; chemistry, blue; biology, green; medicine, red; social sciences, yellow; humanities, white; mathematics, purple; and engineering, pink. The interconnecting lines reflect the probability that a reader will click from one journal to another on the computer screen.
Similar maps have long been constructed on the basis of footnotes in one journal’s articles that refer to articles in other journals. Dr. Bollen believes that his electronic click map better represents scholars’ behavior than does citation analysis, as the footnote method is called.
This is a collection of early, small typographic experiments. I liked the idea of »smashing« type on paper and see what happens. All the typograms were created with python and postscript.
I know they aren't very functional i know, but they are good. check out poetry on the road, previously posted. by boris muller
really like this, clean simplification of a complex subject showing the amount of genes associated with that disease. Researchers created a map linking different diseases, represented by circles, to the genes they have in common, represented by squares. Related Article: Redefining Disease, Genes and All
Co-map is literally a collaborative map between myself and Arnaud Velten over at As-map.com to translate his excellent 3D CV Map into english and hopefully soon his fantastic map will be featured in an art gallery in america.
it is an excellent creation, looks damn good (i have seen a copy) there is more info at www.co-map.org for a more detailed view. it is at 1 euro i think, really well worth a bid before
17th march end of auction
there aren't lots and they are well worth, I believe they are A3, more info here:
this magazine collates some of the most creative and innovative visualisation of information that try to simplify the complex. this volume is based around circles.

With excellant help and collaboration from pedro montiero at whattype.wordpress.com it has had an excellant revamp. More work featured by,

please send your examples of isometrics for the future issue 3. also please give feedback. and observe the copyrights of non commercial, no derivatives, attributation to myself and pedro.
all featured are very good resources of inspiration for various design jobs as they solve communication problems using easy to understand graphics. Seems a mouthful but basically great graphics that look great (form) and communicate detailed info quickly and easily (function).

Version 1 here:
This layout of version 2 lets you zoom in more but loses the nice double page spread, incase you want to see closer detail.
thanks again to all who contributed and there cooperation, very helpful allowing their work to be featured in the magazine and others advice and help. thanks to pedro's collaboartion too, gave it a really good revamp. see more of my work at
