Who would have ever thought that producing annual reports of how you spend your personal time would garner all kinds of accolades among the digerati? Well, that’s what’s happened to Nicholas Felton after presenting at the Future of Web Design conference and he talks a little bit about this in a recent interview with web design guru, Paul Boag. But as you might guess from the context, it’s not the content that’s causing the buzz, but the way in which he displays it. After perusing some of the pages, I get the feeling that this would be the way a cartographer would approach an annual report, … where lines, numbers, and plotted points have been substituted for sentences and paragraphs. He has visual displays for such mundane activities as the number of subway routes he’s taken, the number of analog and digital photos he’s snapped, and the restaurant he’s most frequently eaten at. While the activities may be mundane, the depiction is not. For the design geek, it’s a visual feast.
