Buses: The Beating Heart of London

Chungaiz — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 11:33:01 +0000

London Buses. They never come, then they all come at once, right? Well, this map, made by my colleague Mark Bulling, has plotted all the bus routes across London. It’s a rather beautiful map as a consequence, that looks like arteries or veins around a heart.

He pulled together over 1.5 million individual bus rides from Transport for London to create the visualisation.

To view stats on a particular route, use the drop down at the top right. You will also need to click “Show Route”-then you can see the route on the map and the detailed fare and usage stats at the bottom.

Logorama Wins Oscar

Chungaiz — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:40:21 +0000

Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.

Logorama, French Agency H5‘s film that we reported on previously, won an oscar this year. Congratulations!

Logorama is 17 minutes of Hollywood blockbuster action, rife with car chases, natural disasters, and hostage-taking, but created entirely out of real world logotypes and brand characters. In it, you’ll see the Michelin Man, the Haribo kid, Bob’s Big Boy, Mr. Pringle and Ronald McDonald, but in some very unfamiliar roles playing the classic movie archetypes of good guys, bad guys and foils. Ultimately, Ronald’s antics bring the city to a state of chaos, but nothing like what Mother Nature herself can do – proven by the film’s climax.

Need a Typeface?

Check Julian Hansen’s type face flow chart for choosing the right type face for your needs. If you’re an Italian restaurant, dont bother looking, just choose Bodoni.

Billion Pound-O-Gram

Chungaiz — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:22:22 +0000

Information is Beautiful just came into the office to give a charming talk about, well, the beauty – and power – of data visualisation. Above is one of the thought provoking pieces that David McCandless put together for The Guardian, which puts the huge abstract numbers and costs that are bandied about by government into perspective.

We mentioned them back in October whilst thinking about online dating…
