Collection of iPhone and iPad Templates

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Smashing Magazine recently presented 50 free UI-and-web-design wireframing kits.

Here I present an excerpt, namely parts of the collection of iPhone & iPad templates and resource links that are really useful to create nice (low-fid) prototypes, advertisement pictures, fake-screenshots or whatever you would like: ipad_GUI_PSD by Teehan (www.teehanlax.com) 2010

Which Visualizationcomponent for which dataset?

Friday, May 1st, 2009

worlde_jq_blogWhile I am working on many projects dealing with information visualization, I would like to share a good online ressource about this research topic: IBM’s online visualization research site “MANYEYES“.

Finding the right way to view your data is as much an art as a science. The visualizations provided on Many Eyes range from the ordinary to the experimental. We’re deliberately providing a wide array of possibilities since this is an experimental site—and expect to see more soon!

Their featured visualization types include: Network Diagrams, Word Clouds (also links to Wordle), Word Trees, Treemaps, but also the more standard ones as Bubble Charts, Piecharts and histograms, World Maps etc.

Reading through the information given to a specific visualization type (and component) you also find information about for which dataset is it best chosen. => Datasets, such as: unstructured text, proportions, hierarchical structures, continuous change, relationships etc.

Have fun trying some of them out!
