This infographic shows 35 years (1981–2016) of fluctuations in annual sea surface temperature across the globe. The dataset used reveals a 0.51°C increase in temperature over this period, represented by the darkest blue colour tones at the lower end and yellow tone at the upper. A sharp increase in global sea surface temperature is noticeable towards the end of the dataset – hence the yellow 'halo' that can be seen.

This linocut portrait is of the founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator and writer Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910). The linocut is printed on Japanese kozo paper 9.25" by 12.5" (23.5 cm by 32 cm), inked à la poupée with chine collé in an edition of four.
Nightingale earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. The image was immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1857 poem Santa Filomena in the stanza:
Lo! in that house of misery
A lady with a lamp I see
Pass through the glimmering gloom,
And flit from room to room.
So, I’ve shown Nightingale with her little lamp, based on contemporary photos and illustrations.
Behind Nightingale is her own ‘Diagram of Causes of Mortality in the Army in the East’ plotted as a polar area diagram – her own statistical and data visualization innovation, sometimes called a Nightingale Rose Diagram. It illustrates the causes of death in the military hospital she managed during the Crimean War. April 1855 to March 1856 is shown on the left and April 1854 to March 1855 to the right. When she researched the causes of mortality, looking back at the data, she saw clearly that the lack of hygiene was a far greater risk to soldiers’ lives than being wounded. The sections represent one month of data {J,F,M,A,M, J,J,A,S,O,N,D} for each month of the year. The green “wedges measured from the centre of the circle represent area for area the deaths from Preventible or Mitigable Zymotic diseases, the [yellow] wedges measured from the centre the deaths from wounds, & the [orange] wedges measured from the centre the deaths from all other causes. The […] line across the [yellow] triangle in Nov. 1854 marks the boundary of the deaths from all other causes during the month. In October 1854, & April 1855, the [orange] area coincides with the [yellow], in January & February 1856, the [green] coincides with the [orange].
The entire areas may be compared by following the [green], the [yellow], & the […] lines enclosing them.” This "Diagram of the causes of mortality in the army in the East" was published in Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, Efficiency, and Hospital Administration of the British Army and sent to Queen Victoria in 1858.
This experience influenced her later career and she campaigned for sanitary living conditions, knowing how dangerous unsanitary conditions can be to survival. She also made extensive use of similar polar area diagrams on the nature and magnitude of the conditions of medical care in the Crimean War, or sanitation conditions of the British army in rural India, to make such statistics transparent to Members of Parliament and civil servants who would have been unlikely to read or understand traditional statistical reports.
In 1859, Nightingale was elected the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society. She later became an honorary member of the American Statistical Association.

120 million US Census forms are scheduled to arrive in US households today as the government do a head count in order to help divvy up congressional seats and more than $400 billion in federal aid. But government officials, along with private-sector leaders, are keen to point out that the data will be used not only on a federal level, but locally as well. Shorter than previous Censuses, this decade's questionnaire will only include ten questions in an effort to boost lower-than-average mail participation ten years ago.

Quick visual notes during a workshop on the reuse of open data in the context of European cohesion policy.
This is a older piece of work I did when i was living in London. I loved doing it - not only the design part - but the whole process right from the start of collecting the data. It displays people's experiences and opinions of various areas in Zone 1 and was quite interesting to see how drastically they vary from East to West.

2010 World Cup Infrastructure - How has it changed South Africa?
As soon as it was announced that South Africa would host, the 2010 World Cup infrastructure has been a source of discussion and debate.
Hosting major sporting events such as the Olympic Games or the World Cup often has a major impact on a city or country's infrastructure. Both Beijing and London have seen massive improvements to their transport systems since hosting or winning the bid to host the Olympic Games and it is no different in South Africa with the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
