Project in data visualization by carlo zapponi and vasundhara parakh
This tool enable user to compare countries with the world, continents and other countries, using indicatiors such as: health, carbon footprint, workplace equality, living standard, population and education. Each of these indicators are placed on one of 6 axis and create a "shape of the area". There are also bar charts which helps to understand data. I think this solution is really interesting.

Author select top 30 emigration countries and top 30 immigration countries by the numer of people. Other countries are grouped by geographical regions. I like this solution because it shows the connection between immigration and emigration. The craft-kind design is beautiful. Visualizer is easy to navigate- one use sliders and go to the end of the sliders to get more specific data. There are instructions about how to use it. There are bar charts for better data understanding.
Foreign Domestics - comparison of national and international carriers in domestic flight routes
project by Till Nagel
This infographics is really simplified- each country is represented by white circle and each airport is a black dot. Lines shows available domestic routes between airports and they can be black- for national carriers and red- for international carriers. It becomes visible that in some countries domestic routes are nearly fully operated by national airlines and in some mostly by foreign airlines. It would be also useful to see that larger countries have more domestic connections while smaller don't have any or have just a few. Unfortunately infographics don't show the area of the country, so user have to use one's own knowledge.
