This site has a number of wall posters for viewing and purchase. The one below shows where federal tax money goes using the graphic size of agency emblems as an indicator of the budget amount. The graphic is functional and you can increase it to full screen to look at the poster close up before purchase. Try it out!

• Client work: HEAT: A Visual Tour

  
  So this one took me  a month to do… mostly because I couldn’t work very often due to the new baby!  But I really like this one, its fun.  Basically it a huge ordered list of temperatures.  Sometimes it just helps to see everything all in one go, to add some perspective.  Also there are [...]
  
  

• Client work: Visualizing Density, Having Fun with Mass and Volume

  
  Now this one was really fun to do for Rasmussen College.  Density is a concept that can be hard to conceptualize.  You can have to bricks of something the same size, yet one is 10 lbs and the other 1,000 lbs.  So I created a standard format to help visualize the density of all kinds [...]
  
  

• Client Work: Dissecting Barbie

  
  Mother Jones is one of the few mags i read on a regular basis and I came across some data that I though would be great visualized.  Having gone through the post gift exchange crash, and having to twist and pry and stab at all manner of toy packaging, I felt a connection with this [...]
  
  

• Client work: Chartity, who cares?

  
  So being the holiday season, Mint.com and I decided to do some relevant infographics.  This one details the charity situation in the US, who gives, hoe much, where it goes.  Some interesting facts: There are some charities that only give 4 cents of every dollar donated to actual recipients.  4 cents! Those should be shut [...]
  
  

• Black Wednesday holiday bonanaza!… psst, free stuff.

The first 5 people to retweet the following will get a free Death and Taxes:2010 poster or a free 389 Years Ago offset. Free poster, free shipping, 100% easy as pie. WallStats.com [...]
  
  

• Client work: wtf is a Reverse Mortgage?

  
  Ok, that’s not the title of the infographic, but it’s appropriate.  Reverse Mortgages are a financial product available to seniors and they are set to explode as the baby boomers head off into retirement and are finding out that they don’t have enough cash to pay for their expenses. Reverse Mortgages used to have a bad [...]
  
  

• Client Work: Nurses: By the Numbers

  
  Here is one I did for NursingSchool.org.  I am hesitant to call it an infographic, even though it does have a few… pill charts.  Let’s just call it a “graphic post”, which I like better.  It also has feces on it, making it extra graphic. This one was fun to do.  If you want to support [...]
  
  

• Client Work: Follow The Money..

  
  So i was doing some research for another infographic and I was deep in to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ spreadsheets and I had to do something with all the fun data.  The BLS keeps track of salaries for thousands of occupations in thousands of locations, everything from astronauts to watch makers.  While I find [...]
  
  

• Client work: United States vs Russia

  
  Here is one in a series I am doing for Mint.com.  It is a comparison of the United States and Russia over 100 factors.  I have used the same format in comparing China, Canada and Mexico, and India.  Pretty popular stuff, with over 4500 Diggs between them. The first thing most people notice is that are [...]
  
  

• Client Work: Reward Points: The Real Deal

  
  I am trying to get away from the term infographic, so here is a “graphic post” I did for Mint.com I shop at a few different stores that have these points programs where the more you spend the more points you get which you can redeem for discounts or some crap you really don’t need, like [...]
