Movies & magnets is my submission for the third information is beautiful awards visualization competition. It allows you to create ‘magnets’ that represent certain characteristics (such as audience rating larger than 90). These magnets attract movies that comply with the characteristics, and repulse those that do not. You can combine multiple magnets, like in the image: the movie The King’s Speech has both a high audience rating (magnet on the left) and a relatively low budget (magnet on the right). Magnets can be added, changed and removed at will. Try it yourself at erikboertjes.com/moviesandmagnets !
