Daily Viz from Visual Loop – 26/07/2010

The World is a big place. Even with all the technology and the internet, we still encounter tremendous disparities between nations, and that was the focus of Meet the Boss‘s infographic, about happiness in the world. Another world overview is brought by Pure Simple Translations, showing a subway-style map with the most widely spoken languages. An impressive chart called Tree of Life, by David M. Hillis and his team from the University of Texas is our third pick for this Monday, and we close with two entertaining designs: The Periodic Table of Mad Men, Flavorwire‘s celebration of the beginning of the show’s 4th season, and the Inception Timeline, by Deviantart designer Dehahs – this one could be a bit of a spoiler, if you haven’t seen this amazing film yet.
