Following the first thread of the thought process of visualising I read though, or rather looked though 'Information is Beautiful' by David McCandless. The whole book is filed with inspired designs that really make you think about the context and try to put the information into context
The collection of data that was so seamlessly communicated to the viewer in a new or interesting way. I especially like the one below displaying the different content of well known coffees. While this may seem trivial its something that the majority of us drink, yet few of us actually know. This was what intrigued me the most, things that are constantly in our life but we almost take them for granted or don't pay much attention to. The simplistic nature makes it accessible for anyone and instantly visually informative, there is almost no imagining of how much of something is in another cup, its all in context with little effort needed.
The snake oil infographic below is useful and interactive. You can peruse just for insight or find the vitamin or mineral that your take and see how it compare on the scale. According to McCandless himself it was very time consuming to source all the data and then compile it so it could be deigned and viewed in this manner.
