Nicholas Felton’s Amazing Infographic Tribute

A brilliant and inspiring personal annual report.


Nicholas Felton is one of our favorite graphic designers. He is an absolute master of infographics and we’ve become a tad obsessed with his personal annual reports. To call them brilliant and inspiring is a total understatement.

Felton’s work is absolutely beautiful. To think of the meticulous data collection it takes to do these is impressive, but it’s the story he tells in numbers, charts and graphs that is so interesting.

His most recent report is a masterpiece and is the most special so far because it’s actually about the life of his father, who passed away last September.

The report covers a massive amount of date including birth, parents (including the sobering detail that his father was killed in a concentration camp), education, places he lived, postcards he received, places he visited & stamps in his passport, his favorite coffee companion, his music collection and his collection of books.

This is a truly touching tribute to his father.
And it makes me think about all the things I don’t know, but should, about my own parents.

Felton’s reports are available for purchase on his site.
