“Megan Jaegerman produced some of the best news graphics ever while working at The New York Times from 1990 to 1998. Her work is smart, finely detailed, elegant, witty, inventive, informative. A fierce researcher and reporter, she writes gracefully and precisely. Megan has the soul of a news reporter, who happens to use graphs, tables, and illustrations–as well as words–to explain the news. Her best work is the best work in news graphics.” (Edward Tufte) – courtesy of jasonkottke

“Infographics are traditionally viewed as visual elements such as charts, maps, or diagrams that aid comprehension of a given text-based content. However, visual representation of information can be more than just the manner in which we are able to record what has been discovered by other means. They have the potential to become the process by which we can discern new meaning and discover new knowledge.” (acrStudio – Visual Organization and Information Design) – courtesy of venkatrajamanickam

“Think of the expression of an idea as a map to its meaning.” – (Alessandro Segalini)

A visual display of data should be simple enough to fit on the side of a van – “(…) information displays should be documentary, comparative, causal and explanatory, quantified, multivariate, exploratory, and skeptical.” (Michael Shermer – Scientific American) – courtesy of kottke

“The graphic illustrates extreme patience and foresight from Apple to bring users to the platform by innovating increasingly towards the mass market over time without sacrificing the middle or high-end markets. In the end, the iPod continues to be the vehicle that drives Apple’s ultimate goal: Switching. In many cases the biggest hesitation to switch was price. With the Mac mini this concern is now moot. We could very well be witnessing the early fruits of a five to ten year business strategy from Apple that has been in the works since the first iPod. If it works — Apple will go down in history as a company that patiently built its brand equity through high-quality products and design — and then, when the time was right and audience the largest, brought their superior computing experience to the masses.” (Paul Nixon – Nixlog)

“For the longest time, whenever I saw one of those ‘don’t stick your head into the rotating blade’ warning signs with an illustration of a stick-figure person doing exactly that, I’ve wanted to make a web gallery of them. (…) they’re a visual form of anticryptography, the science of conveying information without assuming any prior knowledge.” – (Toren K. Smith) – courtesy of antenna
