Some people enjoy reading books. Others like to kick back and watch TV or play video games.
Me?
I’m weird. I like going online and reading other people’s stuff. I also like mucking around in Photoshop and creating inane things like logos and cartoons.
So, it’s probably no surprise that I would “have a go” at Dan Meyer’s design competition No.2. The whole idea is to showcase 2007 in four information design jpg’s that utilise data in various forms. I found this a lot harder than my first attempt in Competition No.1 – because it was hard to find meaningful personal statistics. (And much what I have ended up including is very questionable in the meaningful stakes.) Anyway, it really made me think – some parts I think turned out OK and other parts I know are as dodgy as can be.
Here it is.

Well done….and you can guess which slide is my favourite.
My personal favorite is the excursion costs graphic.
I agree with Tom. I did a similar one on slide two of my abortive redo: http://mizmercer.edublogs.org/2008/01/06/annual-report-redux/ It was the one part of my preso that I liked, so I’m fond of that design idea.
Howdja get the shared items widget from Google Reader in your sidebar? I can’t make the javascript Google provides work.
@Dean. The golf stats don’t tell the whole story – that’s for sure. That 78 was shot on a course under renovation with about 5 shortened holes playing to temporary greens!
@Tom. Cheers, I wish I could make my four pics blend together as a cohesive whole like yours.
@Alice. I added my shared items via a Text widget (should be one of your choices here in Edublogs) – just click the Edit and add the javascript and Save – and it should appear.
