To start of the new year I would like to share with you a contest that is taking place. I am lucky enough to be a judge for this contest and look forward to seeing the entries. It has been created and is being held by Dan Meyer. Here is an introduction to what the contest is all about.

“Design information in four ways to represent 2007 as you experienced it.” What this really means is to make use of graphics to visually represent statistics from what happened in your life during the past year. This is your very own annual report. It can contain information about food and music to travel and education. A great example is from Nicholas Felton who has been doing these annual reports for some time now.

This should give you the opportunity to reflect and look back on what you did in the year 2007. Use this as an experiment to see how you have been living your life and what you can do better this year. Looking forward to seeing the outcomes. Best of luck to everyone!
