Infographic Journal - The Best Infographics in One Place El diseño online: La nueva tendencia que marca el Diseño. | Waarket Parece que los tiempos en los que el trabajo de los diseñadores se reducía a la preimpresión han terminado o, al menos, ya no es la rama más fuerte de los diseñadores. Ha ido ganando presencia la gráfica destinada al online. Y de eso trata este post. Nuevos tiempos, nuevas tecnologías, nueva comunicación. Antes las paredes y los ventanales eran los sitios más eficaces y más comunes, donde se solían pegar los carteles impresos en Papel. Ahora, que en España estamos sumergidos de lleno en la campaña electoral Europea, volvemos al pasado, nos vuelven a saturar de carteles y olor a cola rápida. Social Media y el Diseño gráfico. Hoy en día es mucho más eficaz y, como no, ecológico (que falta nos hacen este tipo de alternativas) utilizar las redes sociales para difundir nuestra información. Los costes se reducen enormemente. Lo mejor de todo es que puedes tener una enorme base de datos de usuarios objetivos a los que presentarle tus productos de una manera muchísimo más eficaz. 1. 2. 3. 4.

IBM Advanced visualization Democratizing visualization Advanced visualization from IBM can help you gain insight from the myriad of data that your company generates. You can understand much more about the underlying numbers in your data when you can see them.

Parallax View Spatially speaking, the game Parallax looks pretty amazing, especially now that, in the words of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the developers—two students at Queen's University, calling themselves Toasty Games—have "decided to turn off all the gravity." The resulting "gravitational surface test," seen in the first video embedded above, lets you twist, meander, level-hop, and corkscrew around inside the game's "overlapping spatial dimensions," passing through portals on windowed ribbons of black and white space. The game has not been released yet, but, if it looks like something you might want to play someday, consider voting for Parallax over on Steam Greenlight.

Blog About Infographics and Data Visualization - Cool Infographics Color Hex - ColorHexa.com Explore: Seeking New Species A hungry guide caught a foot-long catfish in a Suriname river in 2010 and began to gut it. But the fish didn’t turn into a fillet—rather, it turned out to be an undiscovered species. The guide was part of a Conservation International-led survey of a tropical forest. In the 1730s Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus set out rules for classifying species, the most basic biological category: a group of living things that look alike and normally mate only with each other. As these examples illustrate, most vertebrates have been identified, but many invertebrates—especially insects—remain for future generations of explorers to discover. 5W Infographics; Alexander Stegmaier, NGM StaffSources: IUCN; Arthur D.

Why the Rich Don't Give to Charity - Ken Stern When Mort Zuckerman, the New York City real-estate and media mogul, lavished $200 million on Columbia University in December to endow the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, he did so with fanfare suitable to the occasion: the press conference was attended by two Nobel laureates, the president of the university, the mayor, and journalists from some of New York’s major media outlets. Many of the 12 other individual charitable gifts that topped $100 million in the U.S. last year were showered with similar attention: $150 million from Carl Icahn to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, $125 million from Phil Knight to the Oregon Health & Science University, and $300 million from Paul Allen to the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, among them. It is not. One of the most surprising, and perhaps confounding, facts of charity in America is that the people who can least afford to give are the ones who donate the greatest percentage of their income. But why?
