Infojocks Sports Graphics

Jul 21

Posted by Brian in Design, Sports | No Comments

I can only assume this chart is showing all Ohio State's various NCAA violations.

I love sports. I love designs. I lust infographics. What could be better than an awesomely designed poster that beautifully and nerdily displays detailed sports statistics? Designer Jeremy Yingling creates and sells great looking posters and prints that illustrate sports history through various types of data visualization techniques. The logo is great too. Definitely a Ohio/Pennsylvania area bias right now (Jeremey is an Ohio U grad), but hopefully Infojocks will add some Texas stuff so I have an excuse to give him some money.

Bypass Lane: Skip the concessions line with an app

Jun 6

Posted by Brian in Design, Sports | 2 Comments

Bypass Lane is a service that lets you use your phone to order food and then skip the concessions line at ballparks. It’s a great looking app and well designed website too. There’s an HTML5 web app along with native apps for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. I originally saw it advertised at the Ballpark in Arlington. I didn’t get to try the app at the game (the service isn’t available up in the cheap seats) but it seems like a great idea to avoid long lines at a big game.

Holy crap what a dunk by Kevin Durant. He didn’t score as much as in game one but that throwdown certainly turned the momentum in the Thunder’s direction. Great comment on the YouTube page, “That was so dirty I switched? to porn when my mom walked in.”
