Paul Graham's Essays Visualized as Infographic Series
blog.adioma.comWhat was the criteria for choosing which essays to visualize? I don't see a lot of his popular one...
We only pick the one that have a structure that is easy to visualize. Which usually looks like headings and sub-headings or a list of things.
I don't see a lot of his essays here... Did I miss something?
see the reply above ^
lots of work and many facts, wow. Do you do the analysis manually or extract the facts somehow automatically?
All the work was done manually. We just selected those essays which has a structure, summarized either in bullet points or headings. We edited each fact, reducing text, because with icon you don't need as much text. Regarding automation I experimented with text extraction (using abstractive text summarization) but haven't got good results yet.
Understood, thanks. The "Where Are The Big Ideas" is my favourite.
Nice, the infographic is loosely based on his essay "Schlep Blindness". I recommend to read the original essay as well
"How to hold a program in once head" - is my favorite one.
