Today’s MOTD comes to us from an amazing artist, Keith Thompson. While the map is not informationally heavy, like some of our other maps, it is stunningly beautiful and still provides good metaphors for the World powers fighting for control of Europe in 1914.

This awesome graphic assists one in understanding the two sides of the political spectrum, through an USA-centric viewpoint. I enjoy the flow between family and adults (parental type), as it adheres to a lot of work done by liberal writer George Lakoff. While some basic stereotypical language and views are presented here, the political philosophy, to this double-major in the respective areas, seems to be pretty spot-on, with very few exaggerations or misstatements.

Overall I thought this was very clean design, using some nice curved shapes to break up the boxiness / banner format that was chosen. And more kudos to the sihouetted simple four-color scheme.

Today’s MOTD comes to us from Brandon Oxendine, a graphic design freelancer and student at Winthrop university.

Truly a well designed infographic. My only comment would be that I would like the 5 images to be bigger and with the percent number inside the each graphic section. This would eliminate the need for the text on the right, while still providing the same amount of information. Oh and the title could be changed to ‘Vehicles’, as it pertains not only to cars…just being picky ;-), great job!
