The Best American Infographics by

2.0

I've followed this series since its inception in 2013. The layout has improved each year with larger formats and cleaner reproductions of some of the larger, oddly shaped infographics. There were plenty of interesting graphics in this year's collection and yet I experienced a kind of quick burnout in looking at them... due to redundancy perhaps? It felt like this year's edition was less about where the practice was headed and more about a handful of good ones. The term "best" seemingly more subjective than ever. Maybe I'm just suffering from information overload...

Some of my favorites from this collection:
- Trillions of Trees Visualized
- The Obsessively Detailed Map of American Literature's Most Epic Road Trip
- What's Warming the World?
- A Guide to Who is Fighting Whom in Syria
- The Atlantic Slave Trade in Two Minutes
