hi Andres,
do you have a good link to the Eames timeline poster?
I've been working on a similar project - an interactive graph of 400+ famous thinkers, focusing on their creative influence on each other and with short descriptions of each person's major contribution.
And you can grab an image of the whole graph or my data for free!
