It is time again for the excellent Feltron Report, now up to it’s sixth edition. For those that do not know, the annual Feltron Report is a brilliant collection of infographics by Nicholas Felton usually about what he got up to during the year.
The 2010 report is slightly different, in that it is about his Father’s life, and all the resources he could find to report on his life.
As usual the graphics are top notch, and the typography is excellent.
The Typefaces of the World poster is a very pretty poster, highlighting the origin of 50 popular typefaces alphabetically, and listing the date and author.
The idea is to familiarise designers with the origin of the type, so as to be able to better use the different faces. I think a timeline element would add to this, maybe by lengthening the line accordingly.

A great project by Thomas Wood called Off The Map, exploring the disused tuble stations of London’s Underground. Each poster represents a different station, and is created in the style set out by Johnston and Beck.
Beautiful hand lettered maps of London and New York by Ursula Hitz.

As promised, I have updated my graphic for the Trinations now that it has finished. That was a rather lucky escape for the All Blacks and highlighted that the next tier of players are not up to the same standard as the regulars.

Yet another Beck tube style map, although this one is the certainly the closest looking to Beck’s since the lines are almost exactly the same shape as London’s Underground.
This maps the most widely spoken languages across the countries where they are spoken.
Another nice use of Beck’s tube or subway style maps to chart the gig history of Blur, who incidentally have a free music download on their site. The concept is similar to the subway of science.
Great looking maps by Zara Picken for Lonely Planet. I like the limited palette and retro colours.
