<blockquote>
<p>The science of infographics is an interesting beast. Infographics' level of success is always based on how much and how well they communicate their data&mdash;the classic form follows function. In this series, I reversed these roles&mdash;form is king and dictates what the infographic communicates. Welcome to the world of fictional visual information.</p>

This brings-back memories of the 80's, when there were Victorian-themed photographers in the mall (or King's Island), where the whole family would dress-up for a sepia photo. Good times.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.creativecomponent.com/lighter-side/rss-comments-entry-8174571.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Celebrating the Stencil Art of Peat Wollaeger</title><category>Found Images</category><category>Found Video</category><category>art</category><category>poster</category><dc:creator>Alan Houser</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:36:04 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.creativecomponent.com/lighter-side/celebrating-the-stencil-art-of-peat-wollaeger.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">388338:4491988:8160531</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><img src="http://www.creativecomponent.com/storage/peat2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1278082454020" alt="" /></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;I stumbled-onto <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.stensoul.com/" target="_blank">Peat Wollaeger's work</a> when I was googling "<a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stensoul/sets/72157606857890694/" target="_blank">Mexican Wrestling Masks</a>" (don't ask), and after landing on <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stensoul/sets/" target="_blank">his collection on Flickr</a>, I spent the next 30 minutes thrilled.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for the distraction, Peat.</p>
