    I miss the days when I could design a weekly content strategy. Well, at least sometimes I would design a weekly content strategy.

    Well the election is finally over. And since last week I used my Friday post to talk about something serious, I apologise for backtracking just a wee bit to go back to the election. This summer I had a discussion with one of the designers I worked with at the time, Ciana Frenze. We were…

    Happy Friday, everyone. According to xkcd, I am failing the future test. That is to say, by 2019, I will be unable to communicate data through infographics or create data visualisations. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.

    Last week Mitt Romney’s campaign released a series of infographic adverts. They were Venn Diagrams with messages attacking President Obama by highlighting what the Romney campaign called gaps between what the president has said he would do and what he has in fact done.
