Behind the scenes of GOOD Magazine’s infographics.
We always found that there\’s info lurking behind everything in the world,ââ¬Â says Morgan Clendaniel, deputy editor at GOOD Magazine. ââ¬ÅYou\’ll read an article, but you won\’t see the data behind it ââ¬â nor would you want to. Nobody wants to read an Excel file.ââ¬Â
Clendaniel and I are discussing GOOD\’s Transparency section ââ¬â a regular print and online feature of standalone infographics. The general interest magazine best known for its social consciousness has published infographics on a number of topics, some serious (fuel efficiency between modes of transportation, a map of international legislation on death penalty), others more playful (relative trophy sizes, museum ticket prices).
ââ¬ÅThe goal is to illustrate these issues in a way that is entertaining, accessible, but also informative,ââ¬Â Clendaniel says.
