Unit 1 Hotlinks

What is Beauty: Novel, Informative, Efficient and Aesthetic
Onextrapixel reiterates both the reading and the lecture from week 1. It includes:
  • A History of Infographics
  • Brief Description of Infographics
  • Designing an Effective Infographic
  • Great Examples of Infographics for Inspiration
  • Data Visualization Tools
  • Additional Resources

Learning from the Classics 
Chapter 1 has a paragraph that mentions two very well-known beautiful visualizations: Mendeleev's periodic table of the element and Harry Beck's map of the London Underground (tube map). Webdesigner Depot has two links that relate to these examples: Periodic Table of Typefaces and  Infographic Maps.
