Awhile back I bought what essentially amounts to a textbook on information design.  How to visually present information.  I never peeled the plastic off of it.  And it sits on my shelf collecting dust.  I am interested in it though.  And I will read it one day.  But today here are two examples of visual presentation of information.

St. Elsewhere’s universe (pdf) from Tommy Westphall – A multiverse explored.

And a flowchart of the effect of Dungeons and Dragons on life.
