Dozens of GOOD Infographics

June 1st, 2009 by Tom

GOOD as in GOOD Magazine, that is. They’ve created an impressive Flickr gallery of their “transparencies” from the past year (transparency is GOOD’s preferred term for an informational graphic).

Now, these are like cheesecake. Don’t eat too much in one sitting.

about

Explainist is a blog about the art of explaining. Check out the first post to get a sense of the blog mission and see why I'm such an explanation nerd.

I earned my explaining merit badge as one of the original writers and the mid-aughts Editorial Director for HowStuffWorks.com. These days, I'm an independent Web project consultant, freelance writer and part-time crazy dog person. You can learn more about me here.

Fellow explainist and citizen on patrol Dave Coustan also shows up to explain now and then. You can learn more about Dave here.

If you have any thoughts about Explainist, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me at tom at explainist dot com

Thank you for visiting,
