Chris P. sent in this link to a Wired feature on "infographics."

The first entry is by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec.

These are fun images and I enjoy looking at it as hand-drawn art. But it's a stretch to call them "data visualization," "data," or "data analysis," which are all tags used by the Wired editing staff.

(PS. Wired chose a particular example of their work. There are many examples of Lupi's work that strike a balance between handicraft and data communications.)
