This commercial isn’t real, neither are society’s standards of beauty. I love the line “My skin feels like PLASTIC!!!”

Well it’s a new day… And a new year! Perhaps the last year according to the Mayans(?!!)…
I love the year end lists of the “best of” this and that collections that pop up at the end of the year. Here are a few favorites that I’ve come across over the last few weeks that I thought I’d share with you.
Best visualizations
From visual.ly blog here’s an article on some of the best visualizations of 2011. I really have fallen in love with infographics, but I really like this list because it also includes some interactive information (http://cnn-ecosphere.com/ was my favorite for sure – zoom in and check out the tweets around the world!) as well as some great videos that are packed with interesting and useful information. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! Another wonderful couple resources for infographics are Good magazine’s infographic page here: http://www.good.is/infographics and http://visualjournalism.com/

Best cheat sheets
The best wordpress cheat sheets that I’ve found this year are from wptuts+ (love all the tuts+ sites!)

Best movies???
The best movie list of the year – errrrrrr… I have yet to find one that I totally agree with.
Rolling stone has a decent list here: http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/lists/10-best-movies-of-2011-20111207 but there are for sure a few in their list that I would swap out. They don’t really have foreign films or any documentaries listed. I could probably make a list of 10 top documentaries because I watch so many… One of my favorites from this year was Waiting for Superman. If you are a student, or work in any part of education – or if you have children or are the least bit interested in education as a whole it’s a must-see. The hangover 2 and Sherlock Holmes were quite good, and Drive – although it was nicely done was a bit too slow for me – artistic and beautiful yes but also slow. The Tree of life was again beautiful but I like it more as a visual background than a story.
Best music!? Ahhhh that’s always a list too long and complex…
I always had a hard time explaining to my mother what it is that I did all day as a graphic designer… This is a great little video by DKNG studio on the process of creating a poster which from start to finish took about 40 hours. Enjoy!

Here’s a great little video to watch. An example of how you need to have multiple ways to advertise to your customers these days. Having an ad just on tv will not get the reach you need. Read Google’s full article on this here:
