Blogging with bar graphs






After looking through some great work by James Thompson I picked out these posters as my favourite.
They use real life objects to create graphs and visually represent data in a whole different way. They make the idea of data a lot more human and they are relative to the graph they are depicting. This makes the person interact with more and actually take notice of its content. A computerised graphical chart just does not have the same effect. You can see James site at:

Below is how James described his own work.

A series of daily blog posts that explored the visual language of self–documentation. It was part of a larger project about the contrast between individual and group intentions on the internet and the rise of both the monologue and the conversation in the form of blogs and group applications respectively.

It was also an attempt to reduce my textual output into the blogosphere. The system for deciding the theme of the blog was such that I could decide at a whim in the same way that any blog author would.
