I’ve been getting a little bored with the more traditional ways to document and share information and concepts with colleagues. Tables are uninspiring and mindmaps can only take you so far. Sometimes you need a more fine-tuned mechanism to share knowledge. Along to the rescue comes The Periodic Table of Visualization Methods from Ralph Lengler and Martin Eppler at Visual Literacy (via Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools).
What’s particularly nifty is that as you hover over each element, you see the method in action. And bonus points for using the periodic tables as yet another visualization method. There are over 100 methods here so now I have no excuses for falling into an idea presentation funk again.
Wow, that’s so neat!!! Thanks for sharing what you found. I love it!
Sure thing, Michael. Glad you stopped by.
Interesting…thanks for sharing.
very cool tool. didn’t realize how much i didn’t know about visualization.
