As a self-confessed Wired magazine addict I’ve come to recognise the name Xplane as the provider of really superb visual representations of the article or issue being highlighted. I’ve not only come to recognise their name but I’ve actually refered people to Wired to check out their work.

They describe themsleves as the “Visual Thinking Company”, again incredibly apt. However, it strikes me as slightly odd that the experts in breaking down how things/processes work and find simple ways to depict it, have a problem with chosing the work that best highlights what they themselves do.

I have trawled their site, trawled the internet and all of their best pieces seem to be hidden somewhere in the ether. Not only that but their published work isn’t mentioned on the site. Has there been a parting of ways? If anyone ever finds the article about how to start your own business which has a visual running alongside the article over many pages let me know because I’d love a copy.
