Visual Literacy
If you have any interest at all in how we represent things visually, you just much check out this link fro visual literacy.org. It's amazing how they have analyzed and categorized the many ways data and concepts are illustrated, charted and graphed! http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html is the web page. The site also offers training and insights. Mindmaps, cycling, flowcharts, clustering, venn diagrams, radar charts, organization charts, turkey box plots and plenty more you may have never heard of are presented in the form of a Periodic Table. What's really terrific is that examples of each type are displayed as you mouse over the table.
