Absolutely beautiful diagram design

Just today I discovered a website called Very Small Array, which from time to time post diagrams summing up interesting facts – especially about the music industry. The design of each diagram executed extremely well and serve as a prime example of clean design. They are all small masterpieces.

Categorized in: diagram, visual display of information, graphs

If you haven’t already, go check out the site right away and get inspiration for presenting data graphically or even for your next web design.

UPDATE: A colleague of mine suggested to also take a look at WeFeelFine.org – a maybe even more stunning place…

Below are some nice examples from Very Small Array:

Optimization vs innovation
Written by toxboe on Oct 24, 2011
You might have tried it before: as you incrementally tweak your web application with small changes, you can’t seem to convert your users any better. It seems as if you’ve hit a dead end. A large number of A/B tests and multivariate testing seem to have found the best working solution. Is the essence of my application just not good enough to convert better? Continue reading 1 comment
