Lunch (to the same scale)

AN INFOGRAPHIC DISCUSSION IN THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. WHERE ELSE?

Whenever I have lunch with my friend, Nigel Holmes, the infographics master (more about his work in future posts), we meet at the same location: the Heartland Brewery, which is in the Empire State Building. Why? Because it is the perfect place for a discussion about diagrams. After all, we’ve both used the iconic skyscraper so many times to give a sense of scale in our graphics.
