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 [...]

Clientwork - Student Loans: By The Numbers

So I thought I would post about some of the client work I have been doing recently. I can’t post the actual stuff in full, but you can just go to original post to see it all. It’s about student loans and the expense of college. After going through all that research I am sure glad [...]

Death and Taxes 2010 - Data only.

So the data collection and processing part of the project is finished. I decided to post up the data that I will be using so peope can read it, check it, or do whatever they like. I will pretty much be importing into the poster as is, though I still need to add a bunch [...]

Question of Design and Data

First of all, thank you for your input on the previous design/data dilema. I feel confident I made the right choice for Death and Taxes 2010. Now another data/design issue is before you. In the previous dilemma, I had to figure out a way to account for the Stimulus funding since it was inseparable from each budget [...]

A question of percentages - need input

So one of the first issues to arise in creating the Death and Taxes poster for 2010 is that of percentages. Normally, for all the data points I list the Agency/Program name, followed by the dollar amount, then the percentage change from last year. However this year it’s a bit tricky because all of the stimulous [...]

Open call for advising, Death and Taxes 2010

This information which is thousands of pages long contains all the spending estimated for the federal goverment for 2010. Usually this data is released the first Monday in February, but due to a new administration and recent economic activity, it has [...]
