Megan Jaegerman’s Effective Information Graphics

I found an interesting thread on Edward Tufte’s Ask ET bulletin board discussing the work of Megan Jaegerman, a graphic artist for the New York Times.

Tufte comments that her work:

. . . beautifully combine[s] tables, images, text–whatever it takes to explain the content. Megan Jaegerman’s work has consistently this spirit: content-driven, no segregation of information by its mode of production, whatever it takes to explain something.

The graphics assembled in the thread are each extremely interesting both in terms of the subjects covered and the information conveyed. I’ve included a few in the gallery below. There are more on the Tufte thread. Click on the photos below to expand.

Thanks for pointing me to this great article, I am about to order the book. It is rare when I run across a designer that can also visually summarize data and concepts.

If any of you are out there, get in touch with me we have our own beautiful evidence we want to convey to customers.
