Lunar Calendar

This cool lunar calendar for 2011 is still available for purchase. LINK

Haitian Aid Inforgraphic

This infographic is a bit out of date now, created not long after the Haitian earthquake. However, the design is wonderfully unique and so much better than pie charts! See the full-size image over at the GOOD site. LINK

The Very Many Varieties of Beer

This poster is available for purchase from Pop Chart Lab. Numbered and signed by the artist, this poster can be considered art, or a handy reference tool. Visit the site to zoom in on the details. LINK

So You Need a Typeface :: Julian Hansen

A clever idea for an infographic, and potentially a time saver for graphic designers, this poster helps with the type selections process. See it close up here. LINK

And it is for sale at the Scribble site. LINK

Underground Animals

Animals on the Underground is a project that highlights the animals created within the Underground train maps. The original animal spotting, the elephant, is accredited to Paul Middlewick in 1988. And more animals are still being found. See them all at the official site. LINK

Synchronous Objects

Wow! This site created by the Ohio State University's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design delves into the study of choreography, taking it to a level I never before imagined! They've taken an art form and broken it down into data. And then they give you twenty different ways to view that data that are visually amazing! LINK

Heavy Metal Band Names :: Doogie Horner

Though I'm not all that familiar with heavy metal music, I can definitely appreciate this infographic that looks at the choices in band names (and the fitting use of the pentagram shape). See the full graphic. LINK

Charting the Beatles :: Michael Deal

Using data from the book Beatlesongs, Michael Deal has put together several infographics charting information about the Beatles. Not only interesting content, the organization of the information is quite creative as well. See them all at his site. LINK

Rock 'n' Roll Metro Map

I'm always happy to see new takes on infographics and this "metro" map does not disappoint. Lines include punk, grunge, heavy metal, alternative, and even emo, with transfer stations at critical points. Just click to enlarge to see the full-size map for yourself. LINK

Remind Me :: Royksopp

I do wish the video quality on this were better. The graphic designers out there should still find it worth watching at least a bit of it. LINK

This was the original piece that inspired the Little Red Ridinghood piece posted here previously. LINK

Local vs. Tourist

A cool flickr set that shows where locals take photos compared to the tourists. Read more about it and find your favorite city. LINK

Crayon History

A simple chart showing the expanding Crayon color availability. LINK

Fleshmap

This is an infographics project that depicts how often body parts are mentioned in varying genres of music. Shown here is Rock. Needless to say, Hip Hop has an entirely different hierarchy. NSFW. LINK

Self Portrait :: Erik Nordenankar

As a graduation project from Beckmans College of Design, Erik Nodenankar came up with the concept to create the biggest drawing in the world. A package with a GPS tracker would be shipped around the world, creating his self portrait. I suspect that the whole hoax thing was most likely created by others who saw the project and didn't realize that it was just a school project, never meant to go beyond getting a grade. But the original link is gone and these are the only links I can find now. LINK

Graffiti Archaeology

A very cool site that shows photographs of popular graffiti sites layered over each other over time. Use the timeline at the bottom of the window to navigate each site. It's amazing to see repeated attempts to remove the graffiti fail so quickly. LINK
