Announcing our visualization awards shortlist…

IIB Awards Shortlist - Information is Beautiful
I’d like to invite you to review the official shortlist of the inaugural Information is Beautiful Awards.
Our global contest is out to showcase excellence in data visualization and infographics. I think the list shows off some of the best work of the last year.
Over 1,000 entries from 16 countries were agonizingly whittled down to a 300 strong longlist. (It makes a great browse if you’re looking for inspiration or to trawl trends).
Big thanks to everyone who entered and supported. Such a great honour to see so much flourishing creativity in one place.
Then, with much toil and heartache, we managed to boil down each of the six categories to a shortlist – of the best, most representative, most emblematic and most excellent work.

See for yourself

» Data visualization – A singular visualisation of data or information.
» Infographic – Using multiple data visualisations in service to a theme or story
» Interactive visualization – Any viz where you can dynamically filter or explore the data.
» Data journalism – A combination of text and visualizations in a journalistic format.
» Motion infographic – Moving and animated visualizations along a theme or story.
» Tool or website – Online tools & apps to aid datavizzing.

what happens next?

Right now, our awesome judges – including legendary artist Brian Eno, MoMA curator, Paola Antonell and myself – are reviewing the work and making their selections.
Alongside our beloved sponsors Kantar, we’ll be announcing the winners at a ceremony in London on September 27th and giving away $30,000 in prize money.

Punytive Damages? World’s Biggest Corporate Fines

Punytive Damages? - Biggest corporate fines of the last 7 years - 
Information is Beautiful
Bad week for mega-corps. GlaxoSmithKline facing a $3 billion settlement for fraud (link) . Barclays hit with a $450 million penalty for manipulating interest rates (link).
But are these punishments proportional to the crime? After all, one company’s million-dollar fine is another corporation’s small change.
We’ve gathered and visualized the biggest corporate fines of the last seven years, not just as raw amounts, but also as a percentage of each company’s profits. That way you can see for yourself if the punishment was painful or puny…
See the visualization
See the data
These settlements are scattered and hard to find. So let us know if we missed any.

So we’re running the world’s first global awards, celebrating excellence in data visualizations, infographics and information art. Yeah!
Kind sponsors Kantar have laid $30,000 on the table to reward the winners and celebrate the field.

Who are the judges?

Excitingly, we’re super-honoured to welcome Brian Eno to our judging panel. He joins senior curator at the MoMA Paola Antonelli, The Guardian Datablog’s editor Simon Rogers and um, myself David McCandless.
Here’s the complete roll call. See their bios and details.

Yes, the final judge is you! We’ll be inviting you and the online infoviz community at large to vote on entries and become a single ‘meta-judge’ on our panel.

Who can enter?

It’s open to all comers – pro and ‘amateur’, individual, team or studio, media, art, corporate – whatever, where ever. This is a truly global contest.
Long- and short-listed entries will be exhibited here and on the awards site. So your work will be seen by many, many eyes. Winners will win cash prizes, a unique trophy and mondo kudos.

Where and when to enter

So if you’re making viral infographics, vizzing statistics, campaigning with data journalism, rendering geo-data, designing your company’s internal processes – submit your entry today. It costs just $10 to enter. That means it won’t cost a chunk to have your work seen and lauded.
Closing date: 31st May 2012.
Long list: 25th June 2012.

Rhetological Fallacies

Rhetological Fallacies - Rhetorical and Logical Fallacies
A brain-blending categorisation and visualisation of errors and manipulations of rhetoric and logical thinking. How many do you use?
The word ‘rhetological’ is made up. Just so I can munge two types of entity: rhetorical techniques and logical fallacies.
Both are used heavily by institutional powers – governments, religions, political parties, across the entire spectrum to sway opinion, confuse and obfuscate. And, unfortunately, we internalise them, like bad habits, into our own decision-making and mental processes.
How many you recognise? Or use?
UPDATE 11th April: We now have a French version – and printable French PDF to download. Thanks to Gilles Peyroux!

3D Infographic Projection Mapping in Grand Central Station!


Fancy seeing the world’s first 3D projection-mapped infographic animations?
Along with ad agency DDB London and the Financial Times, we helped gather data and shape some of the stories for three short infographic films which will be projection-mapped on the inside of Grand Central Station in New York! Go see!
(Projection-mapping throws a 3D model of an environment or space back on itself in order to pull off some incredible visual effects).
I’ve not seen the finished films yet. They’ll be unveiled tomorrow (Tuesday 27th March) and run continuously for three days. Hashtag #FTGW. But project-mapping ninjas the Klip Collective have an incredible reputation for large scale awesomeness.
There’s a preview (and a picture of me doing Karate) running at http://www.ft.com/graphicworld.
