Great Visualizers: Always With Honor Design duo Tyler Lang and Elsa Chaves are Always With Honor, an Portland-based design team with a specialty in beautifully simple information displays and iconography. I first got turned on to / by their work when I spotted this awesome poster. It visualizes the many domains within design. (Here’s a link to a massive hi-res version) Simple shapes, simple typography, simple colour characterises their work. Struck me there was something cool about trying to visualize such an unimaginably complex process with super-simple graphics. Always With Honor create the best icons! They also had a strong influence on the look and feel of Good Magazine’s infographic Transparency section. My favourite piece, somewhat selfishly, is the Colours In Culture image on the cover of Information Is Beautiful. In fact, we’ve just litho-printed a gorgeous poster version of this image on 220 gsm, FSC-certified art paper. The coolest thing though is that it’s a 6-colour process print.

Cluster/Cloud Graphic Organizer Printouts Cluster diagrams (also called cloud diagrams) are a type of non-linear graphic organizer that can help to systematize the generation of ideas based upon a central topic. Using this type of diagram, the student can more easily brainstorm a theme, associate about an idea, or explore a new subject . To create a cluster diagram, the student first thinks of as many terms or ideas relating to the stimulus topic as possible (and then writes the second-level ideas in circles attached to the main topic) - this first step is like creating a star diagram. Then the student explores each of these new second-level ideas in turn, and for each, finds as many related ideas as possible (and adds these third-level terms to the diagram around the idea). If more detail is desired, the previous step can be repeated for each of the third-level ideas (or more). For example, a cluster diagram can be used to create a graphic display to brainstorm about a topic like pollution. Printout:

Free mind mapping (and related types) software I see regular inquiries on Twitter and in forums from people looking for free software to support visual thinking. To provide answers, InformationTamers have put together 14 pages to help you find the one for your needs. These show the platform, a screen thumbnail and a link for more information in each case. We built this article using the most complete source for details of information mapping software on the Web: Mind-mapping.org. Hat tip to Vic Gee who put Mind-mapping.org together and kept it up to date for years. [I took over that site in August 2013 - Roy Grubb] Mind-mapping.org has a good capability for selecting software by map type and operating system (click on the 'Refine software list' tab at the top right of its web page). "Free" here is as in beer, not in freedom, though some of the software listed is open source, so is free in both senses. Of course a pencil and paper is always almost free.

Graphical visualization of text similarities in essays in a book | munterbund.de The problem A collection of essays is collated for readers with visualizing graphics. The graphics should both serve as a thematic and structural overview of each text, and pose the essay in question in relation to the other essays in the book. They should be both an abbreviation of the text and the key to decoding the complex issues under discussion. The difficulty in developing appropriate graphics arises from the level of discussion of the key themes. The basis of visualization Detail view of graphic for Raphael Perret A data graphic – like a bar chart – depicts quantifiable data. Different ways of data selection A significant constraint in developing appropriate graphics arises from the manner of data collection. It is possible to divide data extracted from essays into two main groups: data that must be collected ”manually” (in our case, using human intelligence), and data that can be captured automatically by machine intelligence.

MindMeister Visual Thinking + Synthesis Photo by Ken Yeung I really enjoy talking complex subjects, processes or business problems and boiling them down to their core essence. This is becoming known as the process of "Visual Thinking". I use visual metaphors and storytelling to do this. My style of visual thinking is immediately recognizable and has helped me build a strong following of influential professionals who use my visuals in their own presentations and documents. BlogBooker - Blog Book Utiliser un logiciel de carte heuristique Une carte heuristique [ 1 ] ou carte des idées (mind map en anglais) est un diagramme qui illustre les liens hiérarchiques entre différentes idées. C’est une représentation essentiellement arborescente des données qui peut s’enrichir de formes, couleurs, images... et qui permet de représenter et d’organiser un concept tel qu’il soit perçu par un ou plusieurs individus. Pour clarifier ce terme un peu rébarbatif, prenons une image : nous connaissons presque tous l’astuce du nœud fait à un mouchoir pour servir de pense-bête. Une carte heuristique peut être perçue comme un énorme pense-bête : tous les mots-clés, les images qu’elle contient ont pour but de nous rappeler une idée, une information que nous avons en tête. 1- Carte heuristique et apprentissages 1.1- Quelques points de repère : Ce concept des cartes heuristiques a été formalisé par un psychologue anglais, Tony Buzan, alors qu’il était étudiant. Selon T. Les cartes heuristiques constituent une représentation externe de notre pensée.
