They say that the left side of the brain is quite analytical and mathematical whilst the right side is quite creative and imaginative. Sometimes I think I only have a right-sided brain. I visual absolutely everything! And I especially love seeing information as a visualization. There is an amazing book and weblog titled ‘Information is Beautiful‘. Their founding principals are ‘ideas, issues, knowledge, data – visualised!’. There is a tumblr called AFROGRAPHIQUE and they have beautifully translated issues, data, ideas and knowledge about Africa into well informed visual pieces.
I could spend hours analyzing these graphics and understand so much more than reading a chuck of text with the same information!
