Information Design Insanity

Feltron Annual Report 2008

Insanity may be a bit of an exaggeration. A little OCD maybe, or somewhat neurotic. Whatever it is that drove Nicholas Feltron to keep detailed records of seemingly mundane facts about his life for the past four years, I am in love with this!

Feltron has published his fourth annual Feltron Annual Report about his life – miles traveled (through 15 different modes), reading and drinking habits, hours of music listened to, and more. This is a beautiful example of information design. Feltron has designed a beautiful report, regardless of the content. Of course, what sells this report for me is the attention to detail in creating excellent content.

I wonder if keeping this detailed of a record would change my habits.
