Well, as all of you might know, Processing is cool and easy to learn, especially for graphic designers and makers of all kinds, and finally, Processing is a fun thing to work with. Really? Actually this is not quite the experience I get whenever I start sketching a visualization. Yesterday was such a day, when I found myself running from obstacle into obstacle. Here’s a short documentary of what went wrong and why.

Generating Color Blindness Test Images with Processing
My wife recently observed my two-year-old son eating green strawberries and is now curious if he has some kind of red-green color blindness. Unfortunately, he is not yet able to give us the name of numbers, so the commonly used Ishihara test images won’t do. Well, I thought it´s a nice idea for this rainy Sunday afternoon to generate some of those images myself. Instead of numbers I used simple images of things I knew my son is able to name. If you like, find the source files here. The icons are taken from thenounproject.

Worlds Biggest Companies
I’m very proud to present my current visualization, which is my first serios step into the Processing framework. It shows some financial data of the world’s biggest companies, tracked over the last 6 years. I took the data from Forbes2000-Index, which you can find on forbes.com.
