Totaal’s Infographics Week: Day Three
Posted on 08. Apr, 2010 by benmckenna in All Posts, Technology
So the infographics train keeps a-rolling on, thanks to all the people who’ve given lovely feedback so far. Thanks especially to Ben and Tim who pointed me in the direction of Information is Beautiful which is a thing of beauty in itself. It has kind of messed with the order of play a bit but hey, reaction’s a good thing right?
Top 50 Earners in World Football
This is by the aforementioned Ben Huxley of Visual Evolution, the guy who also contributed to Totaal’s silliest ever blog post, who deconstructed the stats for the 50 best paid footballers and laid it out pretty nicely. The idea that Man City’s Emmanuel Adebayor earns a salary equivalent to 26,471 of his fellow countrymen/women is mind boggling. He also did this slightly more gruesome effort.

The Great Bear
Sort of more of a work of labyrinthine graphic punnage than a straight up infographic, The Great Bear has been hung in the Totaal office ever since we kicked off. It’s a lovely interpretation of the masterly Harry Beck’s original London Tube Map with the lines replaced by Philosophers, Planets, Actors, Footballers etc. It’s not so much the lines themselves that are interesting but it’s the intersections of the lines in this that bring up the most interesting results, you may have to squint a little but it’s more than worth it.

Left Vs. Right
What with the GeneralElection having just been called I thought it would be timely to include this information packed infographic on the beliefs of people on each side of the US Left/Right political scale. Maybe it’s the blurring of international boundaries, the colonial legacy or the fact that our politicians are, to a man, obsessed with US politics but about 90% of this holds water on this side of the Atlantic too.
