Hi Brandy,

Thanks for your valuable input. Yes, some might argue that the direction in which PETA is heading is quite unethical and they are doing it just for attention. Perhaps I wasn’t aware of this fact when I made this post which can be the only reason why I might have added it. I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks again…

There are some nice examples of data visualization here, but in a time of creative flowering in infographics, I was surprised to see the unattributed PETA graphic, which doesn’t stand out as at all remarkable (and certainly isn’t one of the 50 best out there) and is full of agribusiness propaganda you usually find only on vitriolic far right web sites.

I actually do have some criticisms of PETA and would welcome a real analytical treatment of it, but I think that graphic was created in bad faith.

Data visualization is a great tool for informing and facilitating creative thinking, but, unfortunately, it can also put a pretty face on thin or bad data.

Very nice post. The best infographics take otherwise boring data and present them in a compelling way. This is harder than it sounds and requires a good bit of creativity. My favorite is the systems of the human body. Even for those of us outside of the UK, the London UnderGround is so recognizable and the analogy between the subway lines and the distinct systems in the body is just genesis.

Ok I just spent well over an hour looking at all these graphics! Very cool…although I found the PETA one a bit disturbing as I am a huge animal lover.
