In an information obsessed world, I’m simply obsessed with information. Not in the way you might think, however. I’ve spent the last few months slowly gathering my favourite infographics, and really tried to observe what makes information attractive, better communicated and more interesting. It’s an area which greatly affects our field, and I think it’s really important to keep our fingers on the pulse of information flowing patterns and trends. Today I discovered the work of Nicholas Felton, an author of several Personal Annual Reports. I found his layout, typography, and colour choices quite striking, and it was a couple minutes before I realized his Annual Reports were indeed about his own personal life. I then discovered a site he co-founded call Daytum, used for counting and communicating daily data. If you’re as interested as I am, be sure to dig deeper and start your own personal information journey.
