Lauren Alexander | Lauren Alexander is a graphic designer and fresh graduate from Washington University in St. Louiswith a major in Communication Design based in St. Louis, Missouri. The photos above are from Laruen’s project The Modern Guide to Religion. I love the fresh approach and sweet info graphics (in particular the comparison between religions).
The Modern Guide to Religion was a book designed to appeal to an audience used to distilling information using graphics. I wanted to show religion in a new way by using public figures and info graphics to engage and keep the viewer’s interest. I accomplished this through the use of a contemporary color palette in bright, fun colors not usually associated with religion. I also used updated imagery to integrate well with the color palette and info graphics.

rstats shiny app for tracking the next pope
After getting frustrated with having to run python over and over again (see previous post) to see the trends in the Papal odds, I’ve put together a basic shiny app that allows for real time updates and interactivity.
