What's in a name?
Does your name affect your destiny? By signalling your class, gender or ethnicity, does it make certain careers out of reach? We looked at the most popular first names in a range of professions and social categories. Then we tried to work out if names, like sticks and stones, can ever hurt you.

Cultural Traction
Cultural Traction is a tool that measures, deconstructs and diagnoses the cultural relevancy of brands, and is a proven driver of brand health not just today, but more importantly tomorrow.
Cultural Traction measures the change in a brand’s VIBE – that’s how Visionary, Inspiring, Bold and Exciting it is. How this changes over time shows how well brands are staying fresh by being connected with what’s emerging in culture. And it grounds something as amorphous as culture into hard data. Which makes the analysts amongst us smile.Time & Space Visualiser: The Story and History of Doctor Who as Data Visualisations
Paul Smith
Time & Space Visualiser: The Story and History of Doctor Who as Data Visualisations
As my contribution to celebrating the 50th anniversary of the TV show Doctor Who, I produced and self-published this book of data visualisations. It struck me that while there are many books filled with facts about Doctor Who, these are always text based and rarely present information visually as charts or graphics. Certainly no one had ever produced such a book focused on one subject area, let alone a specific TV series.
The Global U.S. Military Footprint
Jessica Schillinger
The Global U.S. Military Footprint
How wide is the reach of the United States military? It's a difficult question to answer. In addition to active military operations, such as Afghanistan, the U.S. DoD owns, leases, or has a legal interest in 41 countries globally (U.S. included), occupying nearly 300,000 facilities and 28.5 million acres of land. This footprint spans every continent and employs 3.7 million people. This global defense presence is unlike any other.
This infographic attempts to show the extent of the U.S. military footprint outside the context of active operations on a global scale.Schematics : A Love Story
Julian Hibbard
Schematics : A Love Story
"Schematics: A Love Story" is a unique and experimental board book that pairs found scientific line graphics with simple prose to form a narrative in which life is mapped, charted and diagramed. Giving expression to the joys and uncertainties that shape love and loss, and exploring the way time and space links them, the left-hand diagrams in the book are found by Googling words derived from the essence of the right-hand text. Thus the format asks the reader to parse experiences and remarks made by the narrator with a world of phenomena reduced to abstract lines, circles, arrows, letters and digits.

It is always challenging for language instructors to provide diverse groups of people with optimal learning experiences. Based on the exam results from EF Education in 2011, this infographic work informs comparable analysis of 44 selected countries.
These have been depicted in two parts of horizontal bar charts. The argument initially perceives the language skill as 2 different disciplines (spoken, written) separately, and associates them with 4 regional factors (industrial, economic, anthropological, and social) of 44 selected countries. This correlational info-graphic can effectively inform insightful background about each country/region, and how those are likely to affect written English or spoken English skill on their citizens.BrandZ Top 100 most valuable brands 2013

Terra Mater | Modern Star Dust
Making the quantity of all human produced objects feasible which circulate around our planet might be difficult to imagine. So we built a storyline that picks up the subject from different perspectives. Based on the satellite tracking data from AGI we mainly focused on an accurate comparison of all 1013 active and 4919 passive satellits and rocket stages, which are floating far above our heads. The capacity of both cubical volume are the exact relations between active and inactive ones (and the exact count). In addition each of the thiny star like dots around the cubes represents one piece of 20.000 debris objects bigger than 10 cm.

Hipster Road Trip
We couldn't resist this one. We admit it. We love MINI. Most normal car brands don't have much personality, but MINI is not normal. It's feisty, it's fun, it's joyful and it's not afraid to be different. To celebrate this "not normalness", we came up with a series of road trips illustrating that the America we live in can also sometimes be not normal. We had so much fun illustrating each of the road trip stops that we turned them all into posters, too.

As James Bond marked its 50th anniversary we wanted to find a stylish and fun way to convey some key data about the films. In order to gather our data a number of journalists volunteered to watch the films in their spare time, counting the number of kisses, villains and catchphrases in each movie. Designer Helene Sears then explored visualising the data using original Bond artwork and parallax scrolling, a technique originally used in 2D video games to create a 3D look and feel.

When President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2012, the bill included a requirement that companies cover the cost of FDA-approved contraceptive drugs and services with no charge to employees. The provision became controversial among religious conservatives, forcing Obama to shift responsibility for contraceptive costs to insurance providers when employers object on moral grounds.
