A BBC Football Commentator's Gorgeously Hand-drawn Match Notes To Make Designers Drool

Ryan Nance August 24, 2016

Over on Eight by Eight there's a focus on the gorgeous hand-drawn match notes prepared before every match by BBC Radio Newcastle’s Nick Barnes. From the impeccable hand lettering to the crest of the opposing team, I am equally inspired and envious of his deft, emblematic and downright stunning notes. Just check out the tiny flags he inflects each of the opposing player's with.

He says he rarely refers to them during the match, but it's not surprising that after employing such attention in their creation, he wouldn't need to.

Just a little Google Spreadsheet I put together because I wanted to be able to get a sense of the whole league at a glance.

Streaks (of 3 or more) are represented by brighter colors.

The Racial Dot Map - One Dot Per Person for the Entire United States

Ryan Nance August 14, 2013

Dustin Cable, a demographer at the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service draws a dot for each person in the United States based on the 2010 census and colors by ethnicity. The project is called the Racial Dot Map.

"This map is an American snapshot; it provides an accessible visualization of geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity of the American people in every neighborhood in the entire country. The map displays 308,745,538 dots, one for each person residing in the United States at the location they were counted during the 2010 Census. Each dot is color-coded by the individual's race and ethnicity. The map is presented in both black and white and full color versions. In the color version, each dot is color-coded by race."
