Infographics are visual representations of data (often found in print media) that help explain complex information more quickly than one could using only words. I recently came across this collection of infographic wizardry and it took me back to my days at the Rocky Mountain News where I had the opportunity to work among VERY talented artists.

I became friends with many of the newsroom artists including Illustrator Dan Wiegand (who is still doing awesome illustration work at the San Diego Union-Tribune), Sam Gibbs, Andres Fernandez and the design department lead Charles Chamberlain. Every week these creative forces of nature would pump out amazing work and most notably, in my opinion, killer infographic illustrations.

Time to holler at these folks via Facebook to find out if their talents are being put to good use.
