I created this site basically because I have developed an extended interest in and to collect inspirational, good graphics. I try to collect examples that explore creative innovative modes of visual communication of information.

Things like maps, diagrams, info graphics, mind maps, brainstorms, sketchbooks, notebooks, flowcharts, scientific visualization, data visualizations etc. As I say they are very good resources of inspiration for various design jobs as they solve communication problems using easy to understand graphics.

Seems a mouthful but basically great graphics that look great (form) and communicate detailed info quickly and easily (function). Image Copyrights

If any of the images featured are in violation of any copyrights I sincerely apologises and would ask you get in touch asap through the community and hopefully the problem can be
resolved.

Anyone wishing to utilise these images, please try to retain as much of the detail as I have as regards to its source, creator/authors.
