Infographic goodness

The NYT has been kicking out the good infographic jams lately:

• Andrew Kuo created a funny, handsome infographic on why music festivals are worth skipping.  For more from Andrew, see his blog + previous.
• Matthew Bloch, Shan Carter and Amanda Cox have created an interesting Flash-based infographic that totes up "All of Inflation’s Little Parts."  I often find presentations like this dense, impenetrable, and/or over-designed, but this one’s an exception.  [Via]
• Adobe XD guy Ethan Eismann points out a couple of video-based info presentations. In one of them, interactive voting is tied in with the content.

Elsewhere:

• Ben Terrett pulls together lots of interesting visualizations. [Via]

• Rorschach Economics: Japan’s Phillips Curve looks like Japan; cigarette consumption looks like Virginia.
• It’s been around a while, but I still dig Michal Migurski’s flashy newsmap
