So many cool tools are emerging to enable us to muralize the Web.
Here is my favorite all time example of a complex topic made easy with visuals http://www.storyofstuff.com/ –
Attached is an info-graphic about the “human cognome” project by Bob Horn, who is the father of Visual Language (Stanford). He has created effective maps on climate change, and similarly complex information
I’ve attached one of my strategic planning maps that helped a company make its strategy clear throughout the organizaton (I took out identifying information)
Also we were having a difficult time explaining Doug Engelbart’s ideas about “co-evolution” of culture and technology until we created this map as a conversation piece — continually evolving (we brought it to Future of Talent a few years back 4 feet by 28 feet!)

Here are a number by one of my partners http://www.newmango.com/infogra… Back when I was a reporter, he was the info-graphics guy and his visuals helped me understand complex topics (as well as the readers)
Why do visuals work? And why are they so fundamental to human communication. Please see some of our anthropological research on Shape of Thought www.shapeofthought.com
