If I were to chart the evolution of my attitude toward infographics over time, it would start with a soaring arc, dip and rise, then drop into a steady flat line. My personal interest in data visualizations has waned, but demand is higher than ever — and I’ve devoted much of my career to propping up that demand. For three years, I’ve distilled data into graphs and illustrations that I’m proud to call my own. But I’ve also scratched my head at more slickly designed, low-info infographics than I care to count.
