42 Butterflies of North America

A simple chart from Eleanor Lutz. It's nice enough as a static infographic, but the animation adds a very nice touch.

Ebola, cause for concern?

An interesting, and in places quite chilling, use of mixed media here by Raj Kamal. Some parts could be made a bit clearer, but I certainly learned from this that Ebola is much more easily spread than I had imagined. Expect to see some more equally concerning infographics on this subject matter in the coming months.

How to fold your American flag

How to Fold Your American Flag 

 A very simple but straightforward infographic. I've always found it quite interesting how flags are folded like this, particularly in military operations.

The evolution of the Popemobile

Papamovil 

 A good example here of how effective a well designed infographic can be. I am English and I understand nothing of the language used in this piece. However, despite the irrelevant explanatory text beside each entry I fully grasp what it is about, and all the important info comes across.

I think that the only improvement I would suggest is to to perhaps include the names of the Pope in residence at the time of each model, as part of the red sub-header. Besides this, it's good to see another infographic that transcends the language barrier.
