Transparency

Good magazine features a regular series of infographics called "Transparency." As a communicator, I truly admire someone who can present vast amounts of complicated information in an easy-to-read, instinctual visual. Above is a graphic that shows the 20 countries from which the most people came to the US in 2008, how many immigrants already had family here, and how many received asylum.  (For another great graphic, check out the largest bankruptcies in history here.)
