Today’s MOTD by Jenn Cash provides an excellent view on the facts behind the rise of childhood obesity compared to the growing amount of food we eat and TV we watch. Cash won GOOD’s Best Overall Infographic contest in July 2010.

Today’s MOTD is another terrific infographic from Paul Horn and the Union-Tribune. It was done as an add for the San Diego Aerospace Museum and shows how to make one style of paper airplane.

Today’s MOTD was created by Enrique Tejero, a graduate from Vancouver Film School. The infographic explains how to change a tire and would be very useful to print out and slip in the trunk next to a jack in yours…or a loved ones, vehicle.

Today’s MOTD is a true infographic and almost a supergraphic in terms of content. The focus is what happens when a pope dies; specifically, how the Papal election process works and where the decisions and ceremonies are made and take place.

Today’s MOTD comes as a result of doing some internal site research and seeing that MOTD #67 - Piggy Trouble is a Google number 1 hit for the term H1N1 Infographic. I posted that article more as a design piece than as to be used for reference material, as the sources are not sound.

Obviously, the images would not be clear without explanation, but they would have been understood by the Aztecs during their era.

Today’s MOTD comes to us from David J Carr’s wordpress blog. He cleaned up a graphic (Top) that was covered by Mike Arauz (Bottom) at his blog.

I think David’s rendition of the graphic adds a lot of high value content without overwhelming or confusing the reader. Sometimes when you try to make a simple chart more specialized, you tend to lose more in translation than you gain, but not with this example.

Analysis and improvement of graphic content and re-rendering visual elements to add value are two things that Maga strives to do in all of its endeavors.

Todays MOTD is a monster of an infographic from the May, 17th 2009 issue of Wired magazine. The graphic is exploring the relationships between games of all mediums.
