Pixelating the Casualties in Iraq

Media_httpinfosthetic_yrzzy

Kamel Makhloufi developed a simple but powerful pixel diagram [flickr.com] that highlights the past human death toll during the Iraq war. Each pixel has a color, where blue stands for "friendly", green represents "host", orange are "civilians" and grey denotes "enemies". The left diagram is ordered by category, whereas the right one lists the casualties by time.
