We’ve talked a bit about Timeplots before, but now they have a new pair of visualizations for everyone interested in politics: one focusing on the Republican party, and one focusing on the Democratic party.
It places each party event in historical context, visualizing a remarkable range of party events, legislation, election results, and leadership to succinctly tell the story of the party. Narratives are displayed within the larger context of party strength by aggregating and annotating data on presidential elections, Congress, Governorships and State Legislatures. The Timeplot provides a new lens into American political history; it is not intended to be absorbed at a glance, but rather to be visited and revisited over time.
Each one is available as a 36″x24″ poster for $30, or get the pair for $50.

NYC Design Studio ‘Hyperakt’ has created a clever poster representing the 2010 World Cup brackets in a radial design. Of course, the poster won’t be ‘complete’ until the World Cup is awarded to the victor, but they are already taking pre-order pledges.
The limited edition 18″ x 24″ and 24″ x 36″ prints will be printed in CMYK plus silver, on a heavy bright white uncoated stock. Anyone who pledges $25 or more will receive a 18″ x 24″ print and an additional print for $25 increments thereafter. Pledges of $40 or more will have the option of choosing the 24″ x 36″ print and an additional print for $40 increments thereafter. Pledgers will get to see pictures of the poster while it’s being printed.
A clever way of representing the “2 teams enter, 1 team leaves” nature of the World Cup by putting the victor in the center.

Jess Bachman is back with the new “Death & Taxes: 2011” poster, and he’s packed even more information into the amazing poster.
There are some cool new features of this years poster too. Last year I had to use dual percentages to represent all the stimulus spending craziness that went on. Well this year that was not needed, but I figured I had already designed it for two percentages, perhaps I can get some extra use in there. So in addition to the 2010-2011 percentage change, I have included the 2001-2011 change.
Buy it now to experience the 6-square feet of soul-crushing debt and financial mayhem of the US government, available in all its glossy glory for $24 USD.

“Everyone Ever in the World” is a limited-run art poster that offers a visual representation of the number of people lived versus killed in wars, massacres, and genocide during the entire recorded history of humanity. Maybe their explanation will help:
“Everyone Ever in the World” is a visual representation of the number of people to have lived versus been killed in wars, massacres and genocide during the recorded history of humankind. The visualisation uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census data and known biological birth rates. This results in approximately 77.6 billion human beings to have ever lived during the recorded history of humankind. The total people killed in conflicts was collated from a number of historical source books and was summed for all conflicts – approximately 969 million people killed, or ~1.25% of all the people to have ever lived. The timescale encompasses 3200 BCE to 2009 CE – a period of over 5 millennia, and 1100+ conflicts of recorded human history.
No? Me neither, as this chart seems soundly in ‘art’ rather than ‘science’. Sure there’s some math in the figures, but the representation leaves me wondering what they’re trying to convey. Some things to help:
- The circular text lists wars.. The center is 2008, outer edges are BC.
- No idea why some of the lines stop
- There’s no relationship between the text & number of deaths (that I can see).
- The dots at the top supposedly represent the increase in the number of conflicts, one dot for each millenia.
So.. What do you think about it?

A new poster from Timeplots does an impressive job displaying the history of the US Supreme Court, showing landmark cases, political leanings, and the induction of new judges over the ages.
It combines biographical information on every Supreme Court justice with a visualization of the influence of U.S. presidents and their political parties on the Court over time, and includes vote counts and summaries of landmark cases. We hope that those interested in the Court and judicial history—including lawyers, policymakers, and history buffs—will find this a useful and engaging product.
You can order the poster in regular or framed versions from their website, and browse it in full-resolution.
