Regional Overall Budget of Vojvodina 2011 / The graph is visually represented by a group of chairs that are associated to managerial chairs and also a work place. Each chair visually represents one Ministry and the colours represent the exact percentage of the budget that each Ministry is granted from the state budget. The black coloured chair represents 100% of the whole budget and as the percentage decreases, the chairs are becoming grey. Thus the Ministries with the smallest budgets are represented by almost white chairs. Therefore, the chairs always have the same size, but their colours are changing depending on the amount of the budget. This kind of visualisation is also applicable to other budgets, for instance the budget for culture in the Republic of Serbia, Vojvodina, etc. |

Czech Chart Regional Overall Budget of Central Bohemia Region 2011 / State institutions are fully or partly dependent from state and its financial support. Money from the state is to them like nutrition to a child. Some of them are well-fed, some are surfeited and some are underfed. Only the state decides about who will stay alive and full of energy as well as about who drops dead from malnutrition. Salami seems like the right food for the visualisation. Everybody knows it, can imagine its nutrition value and the Czechs like it. Salami is also linked to incrementalism - a method often used in politics - in Czech called "salami method". The political method typical for adding or taking away unnoticeably little by little instead of a few large jumps. Just like cutting off a stick of salami. |

Keynes L/H/S. Regional Culture Budget of Central Bohemia Region 2011 / Work with hard data in the table brings us view of current budgeting, but the content of table is interpreted in different ways. The meaning of content is modified thanks a number of attitudes that represent political or economical background of interpret. Whenever we show the table to ten different economists with different approaches to fiscal policy, we receive ten different stories. We have used a specially created application that dispenses a picture into particular colours appearing in the picture. In this application, the LHS system is intently disposed. Thanks to this system, a colour field arises that is ranked in accordance with brightness of colours. Every part of the spectrum indicates a colourfulness of individual row in the table.
