That is VERY cool...a great portrayal of information over time that tells a story. I appreciate the ping...I am a bit of a data junkie (for data that is portrayed in an effective manner that tells a story)

Below is an example of a graphic portrayal that told a story, one of the best I have ever seen: The Story of Napoleon's Grand Armee and it's incursion into Russia and subsequent retreat from Waterloo:

In seeing that, the nature of the disaster is clear, and it is easy to visualize in your mind the tracks of blood in the bitter cold snow, and the pitiful rag-tag remains of the army.

Can I assume you’re a Tufte fan?

PowerPoint is evil!

Found Tufte’s book, “The Visual Display of Quantitative Information” back in 1983 while browsing the new arrivals display at NYC McGraw-Hill store, my chief technical reference source back then. That poster was included with the book. Had it framed and hanging in my studio space for years.

Data to ink ratio, never lose track of that in data presentation...when the data is prime then it was designed to inform, high ink ratio indicates ignorance of data significance or an effort to obsure data significance...as a general rule

The Story of Napoleon is a great data portrayal.

A couple decades ago, I bought myself a copy of Richard Saul Wurman's book, Information Architects. The book is a classic.
