Rick Slusher, a graphic-designer based in New York, wins with a super elegant summary of the film contest conduct by www.fastcodesign.com.
Rick's entry shows each character as a coloured line; the layers of dreams are depicted as concentric circles. Characters enter each dream level to the left. When they all start inhabiting one of the character's dreams, that character's color-coded line expands accordingly (to show that everyone is running around in his dream). As characters fall out of each dream sequence, they exit on the right of the chart. The concentric rings depict how time slows down in each layer of dream: via www.fastcodesign.com
Last Sunday, fastcodesign.com ran out an Inception Infographic Contest, wherein they tasked to design an infographic that illustrated the film's complex twists, and its plots within plots.
But the contest ultimately came down to two entries: The winner, which we'll reveal tomorrow (it's worth the wait!) and the runner-up, pictured here and created by Adam Martin: via www.fastcodesign.com
If you have seen Inception, you may have been confused by the ending, no matter how impressed you were with the film. So ustandout.com created an infographic with a theory about the ending of Inception.

Another Inception infographic. The idea was to show that as the characters plunge into the deeper layers of dreams, time seems to pass 20 times slower. The thickness of layers refers to the perception of time at each level.
This infographic is in Portuguese language.
Christopher Nolan has directed only seven feature films, but it feels like he’s made more. That’s because all of his films– the indie thrillers Following and Memento, the moral-corrosion duet of Insomnia and The Prestige, the genre-redefining Batman films, and the Inception — are all constructed to reward (if not require) repeat viewings. His films are confusing. You might forget which movie you’re watching. Perhaps you’ll even forget your name.
At the National PopWatch Asylum for Cinemaniacs, they’ve constructed a rudimentary Christopher Nolan flowchart. Print out a copy and carry it with you whenever you think you may be watching a Christopher Nolan film. Think of this flowchart as your own personal tiny spinning top, keeping you grounded in reality, and check it out via popwatch.ew.com
The genius of Inception is that it is ambiguous enough that you can come up with a good theory and find corroborating evidence in the movie for it.

The various dream levels (as Sean Mort, graphic designer from UK understand it) in Inception. He was trying to simplify it for myself.
Update: He saw the film for a third time last week and his idea of what happened has completely changed. He believe this to be correct. Any comments would be appreciated.
