I LOVE TUMBLR

out of all the blogs ever, tumblr has to be my favorite. you can connect to sooo many people with all your same interests. it's such an addiction though, especially when you are a visual person O_O i find myself on there for hours.

ANYWAY, there is a point to this.

i found a great great infographic :)

INFOGRAPHIC: GAY SUICIDE RATE & SWIPE

finding the rate of gay/lesbian suicides is much harder than finding those categorized into race or gender. although i'm going to continue trying to find more information about homosexual suicide, i might have to just narrow it down to suicide in teens or some other category. i've just been infatuated with the rate of gay suicides. it's been 5 in less than a month due to bullying, and that is by every means disgusting. although my recent obsession with this has hindered me into getting into the design aspect of the project.

i may have overwhelmed myself on this one :/ this isn't even all the information i've stumbled upon, just some i chose to post up. i'm going to really have to delve into this and pull out what is significant so i can ACTUALLY design something this week.

i am in LOVE with the nicholas feltron reports. they are so clean yet busy at the same time, which is something i struggle with. i didn't post each report individually because visiting the website is completely worth the time. the 2005 reports are probably my favorites.

don't like the infographic above but i do like the theme of it just because of our day and age, and plus the more infographics i see, the better my mind will adjust to making one.

is this an infographic? unsure, but it's still rather interesting.
