EnglishWhat Data Visualization Projects Are Featured on benfry.com?
Updated
benfry.com features several data visualization projects by Ben Fry, including Salary vs. Performance, Zipdecode, Anemone, and All Streets, plus DNA comparison illustrations and sketches of the Enron email data set. The site is primarily an archive of work from 1998–2010; the page itself notes it has not received regular updates for a long time and that new work is at Fathom.

Where to See the Work in Context
The site's writing section points to Visualizing Data (O'Reilly, 2007) as the place where the data visualization process is explained, with Salary vs. Performance, Zipdecode, and Anemone used as worked examples across chapters. If you want to understand the method behind the projects rather than just view them, that book is the site's own recommended route.
A Note on the Archive
The news entries on the page run from 2008 to 2010, and the site describes its content as "primarily an archive from 1998–2010." For newer work, the site directs visitors to Fathom, which launched on 23 July 2010.
