Showing US Presidential pardons, clemencies and commutations from 1933 to 2009 (the years for which complete statistics are available). Some interesting trends are revealed.
I used the old Dem/Rep logos because the new ones are REALLY bad. The Rep one wasn't great, but it did have a sort of charm - which has been totally eviscerated to turn it into the NEW logo: goo.gl/BAI1 [Wiki]. The new Dem logo just doesn't look like anything at all: goo.gl/xMzP [Wiki].
VoteEasy.org is a voter education tool that was designed to allow the general public to quickly and easily see how closely political candidates align with their views on 12 key issues. It utilizes thousands of hours of research and a vast collection of data assembled by the nonpartisan group, Project Vote Smart. It is the most up-to-date resource for candidate political information, including voting records, interest groups ratings, campaign finances, and personal biography.
The site allows visitors to interact with 3 levels of data, including exploring all candidates running in a particular state, those running in a specific district, and the individual details of each candidate.
As visitors rank the importance of 12 key issues, the lawn signs respond by jumping forward and back to show the similarity of their candidates.
The tool was recently updated to support Presidential candidates.

The exponential growth of data available as an expressive medium and the growing need to open this data for use beyond the laboratory, is reality that we can not ignore. To address this issue, Quadrigram recognizes a company’s needs to design more compact data visualization content, for both internal and external use. In this example, a library managing photographic archives was looking for a richer way of exploring their image files by location on map. In a few days, Quadrigram enabled the company to create a small application, in which the user can navigate and explore an image file through the tags and associated semantic information.
The Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, supports more salmon runs than any other river in the world, and most of British Columbia's people live in the Fraser Basin, causing a fierce competition for water and habitat.
The majority of the Fraser's wild salmon runs are in trouble due to freshwater habitat destruction, excessive water extraction, overfishing, climate change, and impacts from salmon hatcheries and salmon farms. This data visualization allows visitors to explore the many salmon sub-populations that exist in this area, their health status and threats, and where there are gaps in our knowledge.
Visitors can also explore seven key watersheds to review 100 years of data about water flow, water temperature, usage rights, and precipitation; and see how excessive water extraction is leading to water shortages and salmon habitat destruction.
Developed for the Wild Salmon Center, this project was intended to help increase public awareness and participation in the salmon certification process conducted by the Marine Stewardship Council, and enhance public understanding of salmon management performance in general.

After watching a few of the Republican Primary debates we were compelled to try to make sense of what everyone was actually saying. To do this, we decided to take a look at the words that were most often spoken during the debate, and then map to them to both the major issues, as well as the candidates from which they came.
The result is a pleasant little tool that allows you to draw connections in ways that watching in realtime, or reading a transcript, might not reveal.
This is our Beta release of Politilines. In future releases we hope to add context for the frequency of the words spoken by each candidate, an analysis of the word's intent, the ability to remove candidates or words, and a way to explore the most common words and issues in all of the debates.

A prototype visualisation of the three dominant colours of the eleven most recent uploads to the Flickr service. These circles represent the top modal colours and are certainly not striking. The next iteration will render the modal colours for the red, green and blue channels in the circles. This will hopefully make the circles more visually appealing and more representative of the images users click through to view.
