If you've ever wondered how to model something, or were looking for new ideas for presenting complex ideas, this is an incredible online resource. A cool graphical explanation and example of each "element" (ex; a cycle diagram) appears as soon as your cursor scrolls over them. What is so cool is that the categories color-coded into: data, metaphor, concept, strategy, information, and compound visualization techniques. As if that were not enough to spark your brain, the creators also provide clues as to whether the model works best for convergent or divergent thinking, and whether it is more for an overview vs. detailed perspective.
