The Shape of Family

I stumbled across the stunning information graphics of Christina Van Vleck today.  I was particularly drawn to her Shape of Family project (shown above).  It's a series of 5 graphics that depicts the family lines of herself and her 4 sets of grandparents.  This is a nice, clean way of depicting a family tree.  The circular shape takes lends itself to the expanding shape of the generations.  Very nice.
