Mapping

I saw lots of great mapping today. Good job, everyone!

The magazines I brought in for mapping inspiration were issues of Good Magazine. They have a section called 'Transparency' in every issue that uses mapping to quickly communicate complicated issues/info.

They are all online, if anyone wants to explore more on their own: http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Transparency.

Jonathan Harris

Jonathan Harris is incredible when it comes to mapping information. Chris showed us Jonathan's his We Feel Fine project today. Also check out Phytotaxis, a way to organize science-related articles based on the idea that there is an intersection of science and culture. Whale Hunt is his latest project.
