NICHOLAS FELTON ON DATA STORYTELLING
Fahrenheit 212 became the latest destination data-point in graphic designer Nicholas Felton’s upcoming 2009 Feltron Annual Report when he dropped by to tell us all about his unique way of “living meticulously.”
Felton has a talent for infographics, and a gold mine of content: the minutiae of daily life.
The 2008 edition of his Annual Report includes seven house cleanings, clothing purchased from 11 countries of origin, 1,036 miles traveled in Grand Theft Auto IV, and one Thanksgiving Tequila shot.
His data comes to life in charts and graphs that are both exhaustive and exhaustlessly entertaining for those of us in the business of relentlessly interrogating our day-to-day lives.
Felton has extended his method of self-expression into a platform, Daytum.com, to help users collect, categorize and communicate their everyday data, turning each of us into a self-statistician with the power to find meaning in the mundane.
