I came across the work of Peter Orntoft recently while researching visual ways to present information. I just thought these pie charts and bar charts were stunning. Visually appealing, relevant to the subject matter and delivering the statistical message - to look at them you think ‘that’s so simple’ - but you can tell the thought and work that has gone into achieving that effect is phenomenal. I can’t praise them enough :)
