Infographics

via GOOD magazine transparencies section


As you're keeping on designing your magazines I wanted to show you a design element that's used by many of the magazines on the newsstands, the infographic.
Often designed to make a story more clear, accessible or interesting.
We saw that GOOD and WIRED mags use elaborate infographics all the time, GQ and New York mags usually use them to deliver tiny bits of information on one page, NY Times graphics department even won the National Design Award in Communication Design this year for their infographics.
