Beautiful Graphs, Ugly News

My inner Tufte really wants to spend more time on some of the graphs I’ve helped create for this site. Edward Tufte wrote a few books on infographics and how to do it well. A lot of it comes down to being spare and selective about what you show. There is a lot of inventiveness and beauty in the graphics he showcases in his books.

This graphic about Covid cases across the US is beautiful and has a high value of information, from a simple geography, to time, and the present.
