Superbowl
To connect to this weekend's festivities, I figured I'd share this infographic with everyone. If you're into football or the superbowl, you'll probably find it interesting.
Saving files in InDesign CS4 from CS5
Hello,
I forgot that saving a file in CS5 to be opened in CS4 is not exactly easy, the wording is a little bit confusing.
For doing so you have to use File > Export and choose InDesign Markup Language (IDML). This will let you open it in CS4.
I honestly ignore why the Adobe people decided to rename this action... It used to be very easy before.
I guess this will clarify the confusion. :)

Data Pathways in Science
The link is for a KEGG Pathway, reference pathway. (KEGG is Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)
Posted this of an example of an information graphic that is used more as a resource than as a news sensation. It is an overwhelming amount of information, especially since genomes and biochemical pathways are not my forte, but it is pretty impressive. :)

Simple Infographic.
In the film Journalism in the Age of Data we saw that a lot of the info-graphics were made using java, php and various other computer programs. I was looking online for simple ones that we could do. This one seems like we could do just using Illustrator. I would like practice composing these shapes and such.
Co.Design Infographics
Not only does this website have lots of stunning infographics to browse (it has an Infographic of the Day feature), it also has a variety of articles about design. I found the layout of the website itself visually interesting; I especially like the colored bars that allow you to search the archives by date.

There's also a funny app that I found through the Co.Design site. It shows the asymmetry of your face. The results are not very realistic, but I'm definitely going to check it out in the App Store.

Hope you all enjoy the sites and are having a good week so far. See you tonight!
