Abstract:

Information graphics designers in print journalism are presented with a wide variety of data types and formats, which often can't be captured by any standard visualization technique. They need to respond with eye-catching graphics that communicate information clearly and without distortion to a diverse readership--and they need to be ready before the story becomes stale. The speaker is the Graphics Director at The New York Times, and he will talk about how his department responds to these challenges.
