As weird as it might sound, I love data and statistics – but let’s face it: with the upcoming of the internet and the abundant availability of sources, the understanding and useful representation of it has become a challenge. Often my the enthusiastic tackling of large data sources ends up with me being totally confused and overloaded by what I am trying to understand. This is a problem of the times and luckily other people have realised this and have begun to cleverly visualise data in formation graphics.
These graphics make complicated topics and data relationships easily understandable – it has become a bit of an art and a trend in itself in the past couple o years. Anyhow, today I have collected a couple of these information graphics on social media and I would like to share these with you.
