I recently entered the FlowingData competition to win two Edward Tufte books - if you don’t know about FlowingData, it’s a data visualization fansite, devoted to the latest and greatest ways of making stats look great.
Although I wouldn’t have ever been able to receive the prizes (they could only be shipped within the US), plus the fact I already own both books, I still thought I still should enter and give it a go.
My entry is below, you need to click to see the whole image:
Although, I didn’t win, I think I did pretty well and there was some complimentary comments about my entry.
The image was built using the always-ace Processing. I’ve also put the source on Github if anyone’s interested in learning the code behind the image.
