Chad Hagen’s ‘Nonsensical Infographics’ « Man Make Home June 3, 2009 by manmakehome I stumbled on these fantastic ‘Nonsense Info Graphics’ from Chad Hagen on flickr today. Spend the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out what they’re actually charting! More on his flickr page. 9 Of The World's Most Inspiring Infographics We spend lots of time here at Co.Design hunting down the smartest and most creative infographics to feature daily, but we’re limited by what’s available on the web, what we have permission to publish, and what languages we (and you) can understand.

Paul Laffoley's psychotronic schematic diagrams of metaphysical knowledge systems 'Paul Laffoley was born into an Irish Catholic family in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1940. He spoke his first word, “Constantinople,” at six months, then remained silent until the age of four (having been diagnosed as slightly autistic), when he began to draw and paint.

Data visualisation DIY: our top tools What data visualisation tools are out there on the web that are easy to use - and free? Here on the Datablog and Datastore we try to do as much as possible using the internet's powerful free options. That may sound a little disingenuous, in that we obviously have access to the Guardian's amazing Graphics and interactive teams for those pieces where we have a little more time - such as this map of public spending (created using Adobe Illustrator) or this Twitter riots interactive. But for our day-to-day work, we often use tools that anyone can - and create graphics that anyone else can too. So, what do we use?
