At least 100 years ago I ran a website much like this one. Actually it was this one. I had a little section on the homepage dedicated to showing cool stuff I found online. In an effort to bring that back, I thought I'd just post up gigantic screenshots of sites I found cool. This is one of them.
It’s not every day you see a site and go, “I want those graphs to have my babies.” Alright, you probably never say things like that.
I happened to run into this site by complete accident and once I saw the pretty pictures I was immediately drawn to stay. The design itself isn’t why this site is being featured, it’s the graph work, the print work.
I have this odd affinity for graphs and visualizations. So much so that I wanted to start a blog on it. Where is it you ask? I’ll just defer the question for now.
I’ll leave it at that. But if you can take Illustrator, slow it to a crawl, and do that with it, my god you’re good.

I’m a sucker for beautiful data visualization as well. This is a great find, thanks for sharing Bryan.
I’m sure you’ve seen it, but the Feltron Annual report is a great source of visualization love: http://www.feltron.com/index.php?/content/2007_annual_report/ — I couldn’t resist a printed copy. Haha.
I went ahead and clicked on the screenshot without bothering to read through the entire post, resulting in a “WTF is so special about this site?” reaction. Then I read the part about the graphs. All I’m saying is you could have attached a screenshot of the graphs instead of the website, you know?
