Fridays are for Bars ... and Graphs

I am going to share my favorite designer of 2009 and perhaps of 2010. Nicholas Felton is a genius behind the super cool data collecting tool DAYTUM and a great inspirational designer. If you're a neat freak or have a mild condition of OCD then you might find his work absolutely amazing. Feltron (his creative name) loves to work with data. Take a look at his work and you will instantly see his devotion to graphs and charts. He tries to show data in new ways, in non-ordinary ways.

His work is only half of the story. Another genius idea that he came up with struck me by surprise: Personal Annual Report. Just like an Annual Report of a firm, grade card, or quarter GPA, it shows the overall status and an update of how things are going. He simply took interesting statistics and facts about his life from a certain time period and organized it in a very appealing way:

Of cource keeping track of your daily life in such detail can be very hard, but one of the tools that he came up with is DAYTUM. It's a really simple and minimalistic tool that can store any kind of personal data. You think of the data and DAYTUM will store it and show you progression or charts.
