My CV

Image
I've just learned that someone called Ric Hamilton is starting a blog on "the emergence of infographic CVs". I wasn't aware of the phenomenon, but just to shamelessy cash in on it, here is the one I produced for my interview at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health. Anecdotally the panel liked it, and it made me stand out. But it was for a job in visualisation... (Incedentally I did get the job). I still prefer the CV I made for myself when I was an undergraduate though. When all else fails, stick it in a cube :) http://willstahl.com/cv/index.html Edit: A blog post related to this is here: http://www.coolinfographics.com/blog/2010/1/8/16-infographic-resumes-a-visual-trend.html Edit 2: Richard Hamilton's post has appeared here: http://www.gurucareersnetwork.com/blog/infographiccv/ It looks like there are mixed opinions, but his general opinion is that you should ask yourself: "Simplifying complexity, does this form part of my job role? If the an...

A network diagram for our times

Image
It's been a while since I've found time to write a design story. I made some space in my schedule to talk about our recent interactive network diagram for covid-19 treatments though, as I think it's one of the most important pieces of work I've been asked to do recently. I've been wanting to have a go at improving the display of network meta-analysis diagrams for a while now...

"Living by coast improves health" graphic

Image
It's always nice when one of my colleagues approaches me with some data they're really excited about. In this case it was Dr Ben Wheeler, who had been analysing UK census data, and found a relationship between how close people live to the coast and their self-reported quality of health. It fell to me to try and present the relationship he had found visually - and in a very small space, for publication in a scientific journal. I can talk about the development process now, as the paper has recently been published: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829212001220 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18856680 I knew from the outset that I wanted the resulting figure to look authoritative, given the context of use in a scientific journal. It of course needed to communicate the results accurately and clearly, but I also wanted it to quickly reveal to the reader what the data points were showing them. This is what I had to work with - two bar charts, som...
