Decade in Review Infographic

A New York Times "Decade in Review" infographic provides a masterclass in data visualization, perfectly applying design principles for choosing the right chart.

In taking a final look back at the decade, I came across this fun retrospective infographic that ran in the Opinion section of the New York Times. The piece, entitled "Picturing the Past 10 Years", was developed by Phillip Niemeyer, of Double Triple design.

Niemeyer, whether consciously or unconsciously, conforms very well to the principles outlined in Dr. Andrew Abela's Book: Advanced Presentations by Design. Particularly his method for choosing the right type of chart.

Enjoy!
