A while ago, I introduced you to a young Designer and Mechanical Engineer named Julia Padvoiskis. One of Julia’s passions is explaining things simply and clearly through images. As such, her and I have decided to experiment with a new Gondola Project feature: The Infograph. We’re calling it the Cablegraph.
Every week or so, Julia’s going to put together a new one helping to explain, describe or enlighten another concept, feature or stat about cable transit around the world. As this is a new idea for us, please give us your comments so we can improve on them in the future. Or, if there’s a specific idea you want cablegraphed (let’s just pretend that’s a word), send us those as well.
Here’s the first one:
