2011 is coming to a close, to “Best Of 2011” lists are gonna be big over the next week. Nathan Yau has posted his list on FlowingData, covering both individual visualizations and larger projects.
If last year (and maybe the year before) was the year of the gigantic graphic, this was the year of big data. Or maybe we’ve gotten better at filtering to the good stuff. (Fancy that.) In any case, data graphics continue to thrive and designers are putting more thought into what the data are about, and that’s a very good thing.
