The facts pictured (5/5)

I've joined the two pages together, making the spread much better looking than the book's version with a gap in the middle

Right The Taschen's huge Information graphics. ISBN 978 3836528795 (avoid the smaller 2020 version.)

I found this book a remarkable collection of pictured data from the media, the range of illustrations is very broad and some of them are so eye-catching that you'll spend some time appreciating the amount of time and creativity involved. On the other hand, some pages display work that appeared in print that I doubt many readers bothered to look at twice, not everything can be presented in pictorial form.

The book's large size helps display the material and there are four fold-out pages. Various infographic designers have essays revealing their thoughts on the subject and all the work has captions (though no dates). The publishers decided to do away with a Contents page and a slight annoyance is that several spreads with one image have a white gutter up the middle, while others do not.

The perfect complement to Visual journalism is Tachen's huge Information graphics with 482 pages and published in 2012. ISBN 978 3836528795 (later editions are smaller in size).
